Peculiarities of qubit initial-state preparation by nonselective measurements on an overcomplete basis

Abstract

We consider the qubit initial state preparation due to the nonselective measurements on an overcomplete basis, when the number of outcomes $N=3$. To be specific, we have chosen the dephasing model and applied the conditions for a post-measurement state to ensure a gradual coherence enhancement at the initial stage of the system evolution. It is shown that contrary to the von Neumann-Lüders projection scheme with $N=2$, the most mixed post-measurement state of the qubit in the general case can depend on the bath temperature. This remarkable feature allows one to consider a ``temperature controlled'' initial purification of the open quantum system. We also consider some kinds of the repeated nonselective measurements from the viewpoint of an eventual system purification and analyze the important peculiarities of such schemes.
