Abstract
We study the dynamical decoupling of multiqubit states from environment. For a system of qubits, the nested Uhrig dynamical decoupling (NUDD) sequence can efficiently suppress generic decoherence induced by the system-environment interaction to order using pulses. We prove that the NUDD sequence is universal, i.e., it can restore the coherence of an -qubit quantum system independent of the details of the system-environment interaction. We also construct a general mapping between dynamical decoupling problems and discrete quantum walks in certain functional spaces.
