29. Here the basis is not the complete Hubert space, but the computation subspace of the Hamiltonian. The logical qubit states are the two lowest metastable states, but the third state is important for measurement and gate operations.
30. Although the stochastic Bloch equation approach was previously used to analyze fluctuations in the fluorescence signal due to laser noise [see, e.g., Th. Haslwanter, H. Ritsch, J. Cooper, and P. Zoller, Phys. Rev. A 38, 5652 (1988),and references therein] and level spacing fluctuations [see, e.g., E. Barkai, Y. Jung, and R. Silbey, Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 207403 (2001), and references therein], to our knowledge it has not been used to study the effect of low-frequency noise. Here the stochastic Bloch equation is expressed in the basis formed by the time-dependent metastable states of the system to take into account the effect of low-frequency noise on dissipation.
