Quantum communication through spin chain dynamics: an introductory overview

Sougato Bose

We present an introductory overview of the use of spin chains as quantum wires, which has recently developed into a topic of lively interest. The principal motivation is in connecting quantum registers without resorting to optics. A spin chain is a permanently coupled 1D system of spins. When one places a quantum state on one end of it, the state will be dynamically transmitted to the other end with some efficiency if the spins are coupled by an exchange interaction. No external modulations or measurements on the body of the chain, except perhaps at the very ends, is required for this purpose. For the simplest (uniformly coupled) chain and the simplest encoding (single qubit encoding), however, dispersion reduces the quality of transfer. We present a variety of alternatives proposed by various groups to achieve perfect quantum state transfer through spin chains. We conclude with a brief discussion of the various directions in which the topic is developing.

Coupling and state transfer in Josephson qubit systems

Andriy O. Lyakhov

The quantum information science (QIS) is relatively young, but quite broad and emerging field of modern physics. This is an interdisciplinary field where quantum mechanics, computer science, mathematics and computing technologies meet together. Using the laws of quantum mechanics to deal with information opens many new opportunities. However, these opportunities can only be used if one can construct a quantum logic device to implement QIS methods. In the last decade many researchers proposed the variety of physical systems, that can be used as building blocks of the so called quantum computer. But the question of building an effective connection between different blocks remains open. Recently, the idea to build a ’quantum wire’ using chains of permanently coupled spins was studied by a number of authors. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and develop advanced schemes for using quantum chains as wires. The first part of the thesis shortly describes the concepts of quantum computing and quantum state transfer. We then briefly introduce different schemes to couple two superconducting qubits and analyze more closely one of them. Then we analyze the process of the state transfer for the chain of flux qubits. Next, we propose a new method of improved quantum state transfer which was created as a part of this thesis. Finally, we study the effects and the role of interference in quantum state transfer via spin chains.
