COHERENCE CONSERVATION OF A QUBIT COUPLED TO A DISSIPATING THERMAL ENVIRONMENT
Abstract
It is shown that quantum coherence is conserved in a principal system in the case that the system is coupled to a fast dissipating environment [arXiv:0709.0562]. The phenomenon is called the quantum wipe effect. Here, this effect is reviewed and the analytical proof for a model system consisting of a one-qubit system coupled to a fast dissipating environment is extended to an environment at a thermal equilibrium.
