High-dimensional quantum state transfer through a quantum spin chain

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate a high-dimensional quantum state transfer protocol. An arbitrary unknown high-dimensional state can be transferred with high fidelity between two remote registers through an $XX$ coupling spin chain of arbitrary length. The evolution of the state transfer is determined by the natural dynamics of the chain without external modulation and coupling strength engineering. As a consequence, entanglement distribution with a high efficiency can be achieved. Also the strong field and high spin quantum number can partly counteract the effect of finite temperature to ensure the high fidelity of the protocol when the quantum data bus is in the thermal equilibrium state under an external magnetic field.

Transfer of high-dimensional quantum state through an XXZ-Heisenberg quantum spin chain

Zhe Yang, Ming Gao, Wei Qin

In this paper, we propose and analyze an efficient high-dimensional quantum state transfer (QST) scheme through an XXZ-Heisenberg spin chain in an inhomogeneous magnetic field. By the use of a combination of coherent quantum coupling and free spin wave approximation, pure unitary evolution results in a perfect high-dimensional swap operation between two remote quantum registers mediated by a uniform quantum data bus and the feasibility is confirmed by numerical simulations. Also, we observe that either the strong z-directional coupling or high quantum spin number can partly suppress the thermal excitations and protect quantum information from the thermal noises when the quantum data bus is in the thermal equilibrium state.

High-dimensional quantum state transfer in a noisy network environment

Wei Qin, Junlin Li, Gui‐Lu Long

We propose and analyze an efficient high-dimensional quantum state transfer protocol in an XX coupling spin network with a hypercube structure or chain structure. Under free spin wave approximation, unitary evolution results in a perfect high-dimensional quantum swap operation requiring neither external manipulation nor weak coupling. Evolution time is independent of either distance between registers or dimensions of sent states, which can improve the computational efficiency. In the low temperature regime and thermodynamic limit, the decoherence caused by a noisy environment is studied with a model of an antiferromagnetic spin bath coupled to quantum channels via an Ising-type interaction. It is found that while the decoherence reduces the fidelity of state transfer, increasing intra-channel coupling can strongly suppress such an effect. These observations demonstrate the robustness of the proposed scheme.

Transfer of d -level quantum states through spin chains by random swapping

Abolfazl Bayat, Vahid Karimipour

We generalize an already proposed protocol for quantum state transfer to spin chains of arbitrary spin. An arbitrary unknown $d$-level state is transferred through a chain with rather good fidelity by the natural dynamics of the chain. We compare the performance of this protocol for various values of $d$. A by-product of our study is a much simpler method for picking up the state at the destination as compared with the one proposed previously. We also discuss entanglement distribution through such chains and show that the quality of entanglement transition increases with the number of levels $d$.

Routing quantum information in spin chains

Simone Paganelli, Salvatore Lorenzo, Tony J. G. Apollaro +2 more

Two different models are presented that allow for efficiently performing routing of a quantum state. Both cases involve an $XX$ spin chain working as a data bus and additional spins that play the role of sender and receivers, one of which is selected to be the target of the quantum state transmission protocol via a coherent quantum coupling mechanism making use of local and/or global magnetic fields. Quantum routing is achieved in the first of the models considered by weakly coupling the sender and the receiver to the data bus. On the other hand, in the second model, local magnetic fields acting on additional spins located between the sender and receiver and the data bus allow us to perform high-fidelity routing.

Transfer of arbitrary two-qubit states via a spin chain

Salvatore Lorenzo, Tony J. G. Apollaro, Simone Paganelli +2 more

We investigate the fidelity of the quantum state transfer (QST) of two qubits by means of an arbitrary spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ network, on a lattice of any dimensionality. Under the assumptions that the network Hamiltonian preserves the magnetization and that a fully polarized initial state is taken for the lattice, we obtain a general formula for the average fidelity of the two qubits QST, linking it to the one- and two-particle transfer amplitudes of the spin excitations among the sites of the lattice. We then apply this formalism to a 1D spin chain with $XX$-Heisenberg type nearest-neighbour interactions adopting a protocol that is a generalization of the single qubit one proposed in Paganelli et al. [Phys. Rev. A 87, 062309 (2013)]. We find that a high-quality two qubit QST can be achieved provided one can control the local fields at sites near the sender and receiver. Under such conditions, we obtain an almost perfect transfer in a time that scales either linearly or, depending on the spin number, quadratically with the length of the chain.
