Abstract:
We investigate the time evolution of entanglement under various models of decoherence: a general heuristic model based on local relaxation and dephasing times, and two microscopic models describing decoherence of electron spin qubits in quantum dots due to the hyperfine interaction with the nuclei. For each of the decoherence models, we investigate and compare how long the entanglement can be detected. We also introduce filtered witness operators, which extend the available detection time and investigate this detection time for various multipartite entangled states. By comparing the time required for detection with the time required for generation and manipulation of entanglement, we estimate for a range of different entangled states how many qubits can be entangled in a one-dimensional array of electron spin qubits.
