Visualizing Kraus operators for dephasing noise during application of the $\sqrt{\mathrm{\mathrm{SWAP}}}$ quantum gate

英文摘要：

We consider the case of a $\sqrt{\mathrm{SWAP}}$ quantum gate and its optimized entangling action, via continuous dynamical decoupling, in the presence of dephasing noise. We illustrate the procedure in the specific case where only the two-qubit operation is controlled and no single-qubit operations are included in the description. To compare the optimized dynamics in the presence of noise with the ideal case, we use the standard fidelity measure. Then we discuss the importance of using optimized gates in the quantum operational-probabilistic theory. Because of their importance for the explicit construction of the completely positive maps representing the operations, we derive optimized Kraus operators in this specific case, focusing on the entanglement operation. We then show how to visualize the time evolution of each Kraus operator as a curve in a three-dimensional Euclidean space. Finally, we connect this formalism with the operational framework of quantum mechanics by describing a possible set of measurements that could be performed to obtain the Kraus operators.
