Dynamical decoupling is a feed-back free scheme for quantum error correction against noise and decoherence errors. An efficiency analysis of dynamical decoupling is performed. Furthermore we provide the basic concepts of dynamical decoupling and quantum error correction codes, and give an example of a hybrid protection scheme. Some interesting extensions of dynamical decoupling are discussed at the end.
Decoherence is the main obstacle to the realization of quantum computers. Until recently it was thought that quantum error correcting codes are the only complete solution to the decoherence problem. Here we present an alternative that is based on a combination of a decoherence-free subspace encoding and the application of strong and fast pulses: "encoded recoupling and decoupling" (ERD). This alternative has the advantage of lower encoding overhead (as few as two physical qubits per logical qubit suffice), and direct application to a number of promising proposals for the experimental realization of quantum computers.
