Scheme for reducing collective decoherence in quantum memory

Abstract Cooperative effects in general dissipation of qubits are investigated. The qubits are decohered collectively. There exist coherence-preserving states, for which decoherence is much reduced. A scheme is proposed for reducing collective decoherence by encoding general input states of the qubits into the corresponding coherence-preserving states.
