Temperature dependence of long coherence times of oxide charge qubits

Abstract

The ability to maintain coherence and control in a qubit is a major requirement for quantum computation. We show theoretically that long coherence times can be achieved above boiling point of liquid helium in charge qubits of oxide double quantum dots. Detuning the dots to a fraction of the optical phonon energy, increasing the electron-phonon coupling, reducing the adiabaticity, or decreasing the temperature enhances the coherence time. We consider a system that is initially decoupled from the phonon bath in the polaronic frame of reference and solve the non-Markovian quantum master equation; we find that the system decoheres after a long time, despite the fact that no energy is exchanged with the bath.
