摘要：
Quantum coherence is one of the keys to quantum computing, but
it is fundamentally limited by interactions with the environment. New device
designs and better materials have significantly reduced the level of intrinsic
decoherence in e.g. superconducting qubits, and in addition quantum error
correction codes are being developed, which can repair errors as they occur.
Quantum error detection (QED) provides an alternative, albeit non-deterministic
approach to handling errors, avoiding some of the complexity of full quantum
error correction by simply rejecting errors when they are detected. QED has
been predicted to significantly reduce the impact of energy relaxation in qubits,
one of the dominant sources of error in superconducting quantum circuits.
Here we demonstrate a QED protocol based on the idea of quantum uncollapsing, using this protocol to suppress energy relaxation due to the
environment in a three-qubit superconducting circuit. We encode quantum
information in a target qubit, and use the other two qubits as ancillae to detect
and reject errors. Using this protocol, we demonstrate an improvement in the
storage time of a quantum state by a factor of roughly three, at the cost of a
reduced probability of success. This constitutes the first experimental
reduction of the impact of intrinsic dissipation on superconducting qubits,
using a quantum protocol that is widely applicable.
