Pairwise decoherence in coupled spin qubit networks.
Experiments involving phase coherent dynamics of networks of spins, such as echo experiments, will only work if decoherence can be suppressed. We show here, by analyzing the particular example of a crystalline network of Fe8 molecules, that most decoherence typically comes from pairwise interactions (particularly dipolar interactions) between the spins, which cause "correlated errors." However, at very low T these are strongly suppressed. These results have important implications for the design of quantum information processing systems using electronic spins.
