總結:The realization of effective quantum error correction protocols remains a central challenge in the development of scalable quantum computers. Employing high-dimensional quantum systems (qudits) can offer more hardware-efficient protocols than qubit-based approaches. Using electron-nuclear double resonance, we implement a logical qubit encoded on the four states of a <em>I</em> = 3/2 nuclear spin hyperfine-coupled to a <em>S</em> = 1/2 electron spin qubit; the encoding protects against the dominant decoherence mechanism in such systems, fluctuations of the quantizing magnetic field. We explore the dynamics of the encoded state both under a controlled application of the fluctuation and under natural decoherence processes. Our results confirm the potential of these proposals for practical, implementable, fault tolerant quantum memories.
