Application of non-extensive entropy to study of decoherence of RbCl quantum dot qubit: Tsallis entropy

In this work, an electron which is strongly coupled to the LO-phonon in triangular quantum dots with Coulomb impurity is considered. The eigenenergies and eigenfunctions of the ground and the first-excited states of the electron are obtained using the Pekar variational method. We have studied decoherence of RbCl quantum dot qubit using the non-extensive entropy (Tsallis entropy) for different values of Coulomb impurity parameter, polaronic radius and electron-LO phonon coupling strength. Numerical analysis shows that the entropy has the oscillatory periodic evolution as function of the time due to the triangular form of the confinement. It is found that entropy oscillates under a standing wave envelope with increasing the Coulomb impurity parameter, electron-LO phonon coupling strength and polaronic radius. With reducing the non-extensive parameter q, the entropy increases and thereby we can miss information about the system. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
