• Abstract: Multi-qubit systems are essential for scalable quantum technologies, but their performance is often limited by decoherence from qubit--qubit interactions and environmental noise. Although environmental decoherence in single-qubit systems and gate fidelity in multi-qubit systems have been widely studied, a predictive framework connecting qubit interactions, concentration, spatial distribution, and bath occupation to relaxation and decoherence times remains lacking. Here, we develop a multi-qubit mean-field Lindblad master equation (MQMF-LME) framework for the population and coherence dynamics of a solid-state qubit in an interacting multi-qubit environment. The framework treats one qubit as the system of interest and the surrounding qubits as an effective bath, incorporating intrinsic relaxation and bidirectional excitation transfer between the system and the bath. Analytical solutions provide closed-form expressions for density-matrix dynamics, steady-state populations, relaxation time $T_1$, and decoherence time $T_2$, while numerical simulations extend the framework to concentration-dependent dynamics, $1/f$-noise-induced dephasing, and material-specific excitation-transfer mechanisms. For a model system with Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-mediated excitation exchange, higher qubit concentrations reduce both $T_1$ and $T_2$, whereas $1/f$ noise reduces $T_2$ without changing $T_1$. Applied to Er$^{3+}$-doped CeO$_2$, the framework shows that long-range FRET-mediated excitation transfer reproduces the experimental decrease in relaxation time with dopant concentration, whereas short-range Dexter-type exchange does not, identifying FRET-mediated excitation transfer as the dominant mechanism. The MQMF-LME framework provides a modular route for linking microscopic interactions and environmental noise sources to measurable decoherence times in solid-state multi-qubit systems.
