Abstract:
We carry out a systematic analysis of a pair of coupled qubits,
each of which is subject to its own dissipative environment.
We find a combination of the inter-qubit
couplings that provides for the lowest possible decoherence rates of the
two-qubit register.
Using this result, we construct optimized implementations of the CNOT
and other universal two-qubit gates that are carried out in a single step.
The new protocols require tunable inter-qubit couplings but,
in return, show a significant improvements in the quality of gate
operations.
