Estimate decoherence time and length?

In summary, decoherence time and length refer to the duration and distance at which quantum systems lose their coherence and become classical. They can be estimated using mathematical models and experimental data, with quantum state fidelity being the most common approach. These values can be affected by factors such as the environment, interactions with other particles, and the complexity of the system. Estimating decoherence time and length is important for understanding and controlling quantum systems, as it allows us to predict their behavior and develop strategies to prevent or delay decoherence. Techniques such as quantum error correction, avoidance, and suppression can be used to extend decoherence time and length.

My sample has SNS(superconductor-normal-superconductor) structure and I did, room temperature and low temperature measurement for it.
now I want to estimate decoherence length , decoherence time and diffusion coefficient for this sample.
In the most articles the explanation way is with Hamiltonian who I couldn't follow it exactly.
 

1. What is decoherence time and length?

Decoherence time and length refer to the duration and distance at which quantum systems lose their coherence and become classical. It is the time and length scale at which quantum superpositions break down and the system behaves according to classical laws of physics.

2. How is decoherence time and length estimated?

Decoherence time and length can be estimated using mathematical models and experimental data. The most common approach is through the use of quantum state fidelity, which measures the similarity between the initial quantum state and the final classical state of the system.

3. What factors affect decoherence time and length?

Decoherence time and length can be influenced by various factors such as the environment, interactions with other particles, and the complexity of the system. The more complex and entangled a quantum system is, the faster it will decohere.

4. Why is estimating decoherence time and length important?

Estimating decoherence time and length is crucial for understanding and controlling quantum systems. It allows us to predict the behavior of these systems and develop strategies to prevent or delay decoherence, which is essential for the development of quantum technologies.

5. How can decoherence time and length be extended?

There are several methods that can be used to extend decoherence time and length, such as quantum error correction, quantum error avoidance, and quantum error suppression. These techniques involve manipulating and protecting the quantum system from external disturbances, thereby prolonging its coherence.
