Taming electronic decoherence in 1D chiral ballistic quantum conductors
arXiv:1804.04054 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.98.155302
Abstract
Although interesting per se, decoherence and relaxation of single-electron excitations induced by strong effective screened Coulomb interactions in Quantum Hall edge channels are an important challenge for the applications of electron quantum optics in quantum information and quantum sensing. In this paper, we study intrinsic single-electron decoherence within an ideal single-electron channel with long-range effective Coulomb interactions to determine the influence of the material and sample properties. We find that weak-coupling materials characterized by a high velocity of hot-electron excitations may offer interesting perspectives for limiting intrinsic decoherence due to electron/electron interactions. We discuss quantitively how extrinsic decoherence due to the coupling with the channel's electromagnetic environment can be efficiently inhibited in specially designed samples at with one closed edge channel and we propose a realistic geometry for testing decoherence control in an Hong Ou Mandel experiment.
