Perfect Entanglement Transport in Quantum Spin Chain Systems

Abstract

We propose a mechanism for perfect entanglement transport in anti-ferromagnetic (AFM) quantum spin chain systems with modulated exchange coupling and also for the modulation of on-site magnetic field. We use the principle of adiabatic quantum pumping process for entanglement transfer in the spin chain systems. We achieve the perfect entanglement transfer over an arbitrarily long distance and a better entanglement transport for longer AFM spin chain system than for the ferromagnetic one. We explain analytically and physically—why the entanglement hops in alternate sites. We find the condition for blocking of entanglement transport even in the perfect pumping situation. Our analytical solution interconnects quantum many body physics and quantum information science.

Entanglement Transfer Through an Antiferromagnetic Spin Chain

Abolfazl Bayat, Sugato Bose

We study the possibility of using an uniformly coupled finite antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain as a channel for transmitting entanglement. One member of a pair of maximally entangled spins is initially appended to one end of a chain in its ground state and the dynamical propagation of this entanglement to the other end is calculated. We show that compared to the analogous scheme with a ferromagnetic chain in its ground state, here the entanglement is transmitted faster, with less decay, with a much higher purity and as a narrow pulse form rising non-analytically from zero. Here non-zero temperatures and depolarizing environments are both found to be less destructive in comparison to the ferromagnetic case. The entanglement is found to propagate through the chain in a peculiar fashion whereby it hops to skip alternate sites.

Entanglement generation and perfect state transfer in ferromagnetic qubit chains

Giulia Gualdi, Irene Marzoli, Paolo Tombesi

We propose to use ferromagnetic systems for entanglement generation and distribution together with perfect state transfer between distant parties in a qubit chain. The scheme relies on an effective two-qubit dynamics, realized by leaving two empty sites in a uniformly filled chain. This allows long-range interacting qubit chains to serve as quantum channels for both tasks with optimal performances. Remarkably, the entanglement between sender and receiver sites is independent of both the transmission distance and the system size. This property opens new perspectives for short- and mid-range quantum communication with qubit chains.

ANISOTROPY AND MAGNETIC FIELD EFFECTS ON THE ENTANGLEMENT TRANSFER IN TWO PARALLEL HEISENBERG SPIN CHAINS

Zhao-Ming Wang, Bin Shao, Jian Zou

We investigate the entanglement transfer in two parallel spin chains by anisotropic Heisenberg XY interaction in an external magnetic field. The perfect entanglement transfer condition is obtained. We find that perfect entanglement transfer can be realized from one spin pair to another spin pair at certain times by adjusting the magnetic field strength and the anisotropy parameter, which suggests its potential usefulness in quantum information process.

Entanglement Transfer through an Antiferromagnetic Spin Chain

Abolfazl Bayat, Sougato Bose

We study the possibility of using an uniformly coupled finite antiferromagnetic spin‐1/2 Heisenberg chain as a channel for transmitting entanglement. One member of a pair of maximally entangled spins is initially appended to one end of a chain in its ground state and the dynamical propagation of this entanglement to the other end is calculated. We show that, compared to the analogous scheme with a ferromagnetic chain in its ground state, here the entanglement is transmitted faster, with less decay, with a much higher purity and as a narrow pulse form rising nonanalytically from zero. Here nonzero temperatures and depolarizing environments are both found to be less destructive in comparison to the ferromagnetic case. The entanglement is found to propagate through the chain in a peculiar fashion whereby it hops to skip alternate sites.

Adiabatic state distribution using anti-ferromagnetic spin systems

Koen Groenland

Transporting quantum information is an important prerequisite for quantum computers. We study how this can be done in Heisenberg-coupled spin networks using adiabatic control over the coupling strengths. We find that qudits can be transferred and entangled pairs can be created between distant sites of bipartite graphs with a certain balance between the maximum spin of both parts, extending previous results that were limited to linear chains. The transfer fidelity in a small star-shaped network is numerically analysed, and possible experimental implementations are discussed.

Quantum-state transfer via the ferromagnetic chain in a spatially modulated field

Tao Shi, Ying Li, Z. Song +1 more

We show that a perfect quantum-state transmission can be realized through a spin chain possessing the commensurate structure of an energy spectrum, which is matched with the corresponding parity. As an exposition of the mirror inversion symmetry discovered by Albanese et al. (e-print quant-ph∕0405029), the parity matched commensurability of the energy spectra helps us to present preengineered spin systems for quantum information transmission. Based on these theoretical analyses, we propose a protocol of near-perfect quantum-state transfer by using a ferromagnetic Heisenberg chain with uniform coupling constant, but an external parabolic magnetic field. The numerical results show that the initial Gaussian wave packet in this system with optimal field distribution can be reshaped near perfectly over a longer distance.
