• Abstract: The effects of the measurement apparatus on quantum coherence are studied by considering a purely dephasing model of a qubit. The initial state is prepared from a thermal state of the whole system by performing a nonselective measurement on the qubit. The magnitude of the initial postmeasurement coherence is bounded by the value $1/2$, which is realized with special measurement schemes and in the low-temperature limit. The magnitude of coherence identically vanishes, increases or decreases with approximately constant velocity over a determined short time scale, according to the choice of the preparation measurement. The maximization of the short-time increasing or decreasing velocity is favored by the choice of further special measurement schemes and the high-temperature limit. The measurement apparatus allows to manipulate quantum coherence of the qubit over short times via nonselective preparation measurements.
