Thermodynamic Consistency in Noise Modeling for Silicon Based Spin Qubits: A Comparative Study of Stochastic and Dissipative Dynamics

Silicon–germanium (Si/SiGe) quantum dots represent a preeminent architecture for scalable quantum computing; however, their performance remains fundamentally constrained by environmental decoherence. This work presents a comparative simulation study of a two-qubit system in Si/SiGe, evaluating the fidelity of various noise modeling frameworks under realistic conditions, including $1/f$ charge noise and phonon-mediated relaxation. We benchmark the Lindblad Master Equation against the Bloch–Redfield Master Equation, the Semiclassical Stochastic Hamiltonian method and the Monte Carlo Wavefunction (Quantum Jumps). Our analysis reveals that while semiclassical models effectively capture pure dephasing ($T_2^{*}$) dynamics, they fail to account for energy relaxation ($T_1$) at cryogenic temperatures, erroneously driving the system toward a high-entropy maximally mixed state. We propose the Quantum Trajectories method to resolve this discrepancy by incorporating discrete dissipation events, providing a thermodynamically consistent semi-classical framework. To demonstrate the scalability of our approach, we extend the simulation to a 4-qubit register, showing that the Quantum Trajectories method remains numerically robust and thermodynamically consistent as the Hilbert space dimension increases. Furthermore, we perform a magnetic field optimization analysis, identifying an operational “sweet spot” within the 0.1–0.5 T range that optimally balances the trade-offs between relaxation and dephasing.
