We demonstrate a protocol, that combines quantum uncollapsing and dynamical decoupling, to protect the quantum state stored in a qubit against decoherence errors. The protocol can simultaneously suppress the two kinds of decoherence processes: the energy relaxation and the low-frequency noise induced dephasing. We present the analytical derivation and numerical simulations in detail. We also provide a preliminary experimental test in superconducting phase qubits, using the process fidelity to calibrate the performance of the protocol. Our results suggest that the protocol can be effective against errors due to both energy relaxation and the low-frequency dephasing noise, except at a reduced probability of success.
