Abstract We investigate theoretically the properties of the coherence time of a symmetric semi-exponential quantum well qubit using the linear combination operator method for the first time. We derive the influences of quantum well barrier height and the range of an asymmetrical semi-exponential confinement potential (ASECP) on the vibration frequency, first excited-state (FES) energy, excitation energy and coherence time using unitary transformations and Fermi’s Golden Rule. We find that the vibration frequency, FES energy and excitation energy are increasing functions of the barrier height, but are decreasing ones of the ASECP range; the coherence time, however, has totally opposite properties. Our results may be useful for the design and implementation of solid-state quantum computation.

1 Introduction The interplay between electron and phonon produced by lattice vibration forms polaron whose properties are very important to study the photoelectric properties of low-dimensional ionic crystals. The study of polaron’s energy levels is an important topic in nanomaterials. Due to the degeneracy of polaron energy levels in nanomaterials, unique ground-state and first excited-state energy levels are formed. The polaron’s two levels can be used for building a qubit, the basis for quantum communication. Experimentally, the qubits composed of spin energy states in * Jing‑Lin Xiao [email protected] 1

low-dimensional quantum systems have been realized. For example, Takeda et  al. [1] reported an addressable fault-tolerant qubit using a natural silicon double quantum dot with a micromagnet. Kawakami et al. [2] proposed a qubit by single electron spin in Si/SiGe quantum dots. Abadily-uriel et al. [3] investigated the manipulation of the spin qubit realized by bounding states in the IVQWs group. Several other theoretical studies have been conducted on qubit properties [4–6]. Until now, very few studies have proposed to build qubits through the degenerate energy levels of polarons in a quantum system. Experimentally, various methods for measuring quantum coherence times have been demonstrated. For instance, Sohn et  al. [7] used nanoelectromechanical systems without changing temperature and reduced the diamond silicon vacancy color heart hot phonon effect of spin qubit. Bader et  al. [8] reported different transition metal phthalocyanines in an EPR study, demonstrating the spin relaxation of solvent, ligand and metal ion dependenci
