Spectral investigation of the noise influencing multi-qubit states

Abstract

Characterizing and understanding noise affecting quantum states has immense benefits in spectroscopy as well as in realizing quantum devices. Transverse relaxation times under a set of dynamical decoupling (DD) sequences with varying interpulse delays were earlier used for obtaining the noise spectral densities of single-qubit coherences. In this work, using a pair of homonuclear spins and NMR techniques, we experimentally characterize noise in certain decoherence-free subspaces. We also explore the noise of similar states in a heteronuclear spin pair. Further, using a 10-qubit system, we investigate noise profiles of various multiqubit coherences and study the scaling of noise with respect to the coherence order. Finally, using the experimentally obtained noise spectrum of the 10-qubit NOON state, we predict the performance of a Uhrig DD sequence and verify it experimentally.
