Noise that exhibits significant temporal and spatial correlations across multiple qubits can be especially harmful to both fault-tolerant quantum computation and quantum-enhanced metrology. However, a complete spectral characterization of the noise environment of even a two-qubit system has not been reported thus far. We propose and experimentally...

... if both dressed qubits are sensing the same frequency component of a non-vanishing spectrum (Ω 1 ≈ Ω 2 ). This insight is confirmed by the experimental data shown in Fig. 5(c), in which K zz is only significant around Ω 1 = Ω 2 = |∆ c |, in a frequency region that narrows with the duration t over which the spin-locking drive is applied. This follows from a key feature of the qubit evolution during the spinlocking drive: namely, the terms in the ME that contain the cross-spectra oscillate at ±|Ω 1 − Ω 2 | ...

In addition, we take the bare cavity drive detuning to be ∆ c = ∆ Fig. 5(d), displays strong quantitative agreement with experimental observations. Though the phenomenological decay rates γ ↑ j and γ ↓ j are not entirely negligible, they lead to decay on a timescale 100 µs, while the dynamics due to photon shot noise occur on a shorter timescale, 50 µs. This confirms that our engineered noise source ...

While the correlation starts out at zero [see Fig. 5(e)] when we initiate the spin-locking drive, and then quickly rises to a maximum of about 0.13, K zz ultimately decays over several tens of µs to a negative value of about −0.03. Numerical simulations predict that, despite the presence of intrinsic qubit decay sources (non-zero Γ 1,j , γ ↑ j and γ ↓ j ), the system subsequently reaches ...

We perform a total of 26 spin-locking experiments, between which the Rabi frequency Ω/2π is swept through 26 values uniformly distributed to probe the Lorentzian peak from ...
