It is di-vided into two parts. In the first part, dynamical decoupling methods are consideredwhich have the task of suppressing the influence of residual imperfections in a quantummemory. Such imperfections might be given by couplings between the finite dimensionalquantum systems (qudits) constituting the quantum memory, for instance. The sup-pression is achieved by altering the dynamics of an imperfect quantum memory withthe help of a sequence of local unitary operations applied to the qudits. Whereas up tonow the operations of such decoupling sequences have been constructed in a determin-istic fashion, strategies are developed in this thesis which construct the operations byrandom selection from a suitable set. Formulas are derived which estimate the averageperformance of such strategies.
