Figure 8.11: Ramsey – a) Bias sequence: A π -pulse excites the qubit into the<br />

2<br />

equator <strong>of</strong> the Bloch sphere where it is allowed to dephase for a time t Delay . A<br />

second π -pulse continues the rotation <strong>of</strong> the qubit state (ideally) to the | 1 〉 state.<br />

2<br />

b) On resonance: As the qubit dephases its chance <strong>of</strong> making it to the | 1 〉 state<br />

decreases. c) Off resonance: If the qubit and the pulses are not at the same<br />

frequency, the qubit state spins around the equator <strong>of</strong> the Bloch sphere during<br />

the delay. Depending on the angle at which the second pulse “catches” the state,<br />

it either continues its rotation towards the | 1 〉 state or reverses it back to the<br />

| 0 〉 state. The oscillation frequency <strong>of</strong> the data should match the detuning, here<br />

20MHz.<br />
