Spontaneous Relaxation of a Charge Qubit under Electrical Measurement
arXiv:quant-ph/0408073 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.94.066803
Abstract
In this work we first derive a generalized conditional master equation for quantum measurement by a mesoscopic detector, then study the readout characteristics of qubit measurement where a number of new features are found. The work would in particular highlight the qubit spontaneous relaxation effect induced by the measurement itself rather than an external thermal bath.
