Abstract

A microscopic approach describing the effect of spontaneous emission in the stark-chirped rapid adiabatic passages (SCRAPs) for quantum computation is presented. Apart from the phenomenological model, this microscopic one can investigate the dependence of the population dynamics both on the temperature of the environment and the decay rate γ. With flux-biased Josephson qubits as a specifical example, we study the efficiency of the SCRAP for realizing the basic Pauli-X and iSWAP gates. Our results show clearly that the behavior of the population transfer described by the microscopic model is similar with the phenomenological one at zero temperature. In the limit of very high temperature, the population probabilities of the qubit states exhibit strong stability properties. High efficiency for the quantum gate manipulations in SCRAPs is available against the weak decay rate γ ≪ 1 at low temperature.
