Abstract

This thesis discusses the application of dissipative processes in quantum information processing. Conventionally, dissipative processes bring noises into quantum circuits and hinder the ability of computation. Here we explore several ways to engineer and utilize dissipative processes, as a novel approach for quantum information processing. In a single superconducting qutrit, we observe the topological behaviour of the geometric phase under the existence of dephasing. In a manybody superconducting qutrit processor, we design the preparation and stabilization of the AKLT state. By the above examples, we demonstrate the the power of dissipative processes as a novel and promising approach for quantum information processing.
