We implement the required quantum circuits with linear optics and single photons, which allows us to maintain very high degree of control and flexibility in the experiment.

• Abstract: Coherent interaction of a quantum system with environment usually induces quantum decoherence. However, remarkably, in certain configurations the coherent system-environment coupling can be simultaneously explored to engineer a specific dark state of the environment that eliminates the decoherence. Here we report on experimental demonstration of such protocol for suppression of quantum decoherence by quantum decoherence itself. The protocol is based on indirect control of the environment via quantum measurements on quantum probes interacting with the environment prior to the system that should be protected. No direct manipulation with the environment is required to suppress the decoherence. In our proof-of-principle experiment, we demonstrate protection of a single qubit coupled to another single qubit. We implement the required quantum circuits with linear optics and single photons, which allows us to maintain very high degree of control and flexibility in the experiment. Our results clearly confirm the decoherence suppression achieved by the protocol and pave the way to its application to other physical platforms.

• Perturbation theory under the truncated Wigner approximation reveals how system-environment entanglement formation drives quantum decoherence [0.0]
  Quantum decoherence is the disappearance of simple phase relations within a discrete quantum system as a result of interactions with an environment. We introduce a theoretical framework wherein we combine the truncated Wigner approximation with standard time-dependent perturbation theory. We show that the selective suppression of low-frequency environmental modes is particularly effective for mitigating quantum decoherence.

Our scheme can directly extract the decoherence of the phase-sensitive quantum correlation $langle hatahatbrangle$ between two entangled modes. This is an experimental study on the decoherence effect of a squeezed vacuum state, which has been rarely investigated.

  We show that a controlled interaction with the environment may help to create a state, dubbed as em dark'', which is immune to decoherence. To encode quantum information in the dark states, they need to span a space with a dimensionality larger than one, so different states act as a computational basis. This approach offers new possibilities for storing, protecting and manipulating quantum information in open systems.
