class quantumnoise.Noise(sources=None)

Class for decoherence due to noise

Parameters:sources (list of Source) – A list of noise sources which contribute to decoherence.
fdecay(t, Omw, N)

Decay function for a free evolving qubit. Omw is the dressed state splitting and N is the number of refocussing pi pulses.

fdecayrabi(t, OmR, OmW)

Decay function for a driven evolution. OmR is the rabi frequency, Omw is the dressed state splitting.

Tphi(Omw, N)

Dephasing time

T2(Omw, N)

Coherence time

T1(Omw)

Lifetime

class quantumnoise.Source(noise_func=None, Dx=1, Dz=1, sigma=0)

Class for a noise source

Parameters:
  • noise_func (function) – function of the noise PSD, its only input is the angular frequency w
  • Dx (float) – sigma_x coupling strength of the qubit to its noise bath.
  • Dz (float) – sigma_z coupling strength of the qubit to its noise bath.
  • sigma (float) – Standard deviation of the noise PSD

quantumnoise.v_noise_macro(w)

Example PSD for voltage noise on the mascroscopic experiment.

Sj : Thermal noise
Ss : Noise out of the Voltage Generator (HV-40-16)
Filter : Low pass butterworth filter
Gauss : Noise source which was identified at 20 kHz, modeled by a gaussian
quantumnoise.voltage_Dx(dzB, v, d, eta, Omw=0)

Sigmax coupling of voltage noise

Parameters:
  • dzB (Magnetic field gradient) –
  • v (secular frequency) –
  • d (distance to electrodes) –
  • eta (geometric factor) –
  • Omw (dressed state splitting) –

Notes

Omw can be neglected when v >> Omw, which is usually the case

quantumnoise.voltage_Dz(dzB, v, d, eta, Omw=0, state='dressed')

Sigmaz coupling of voltage noise

Parameters:
  • dzB (float) – Magnetic field gradient
  • v (float) – secular frequency
  • d (float) – distance to electrodes
  • eta (float) – geometric factor
  • Omw (float) – dressed state splitting
  • state (string, ["dressed", "clock", "bare"]) – the qubit’s state

Notes

Omw can be neglected when v >> Omw, which is usually the case
