Quantum state transfer through a thermal spin channel

Abstract

The dynamics of quantum state transfer through a thermal spin chain with Heisenberg interaction is discussed by numerically calculating the maximal fidelity in a finite transfer time for the chains with several numbers of sites. We find that the maximal fidelity does not decrease monotonously with the increase in the temperature, but depends on the maximal allowed transfer time. Finally, we compare the results of thermal channel with the transfer through ground state channel.

Thermal Entanglement and Quantum State Teleportation

Mohsen Balvasi, Enayatollah Taghavi moghadam, Farshad Baharvand

This study investigates thermal entanglement in a four-qubit spin chain of Heisenberg model XX with the presence of the Dzyaloshinski-Moriya (DM) anisotropic asymmetric interaction, an external magnetic field, and another parameter. Then, the spin chain was used as a quantum channel for transferring an unknown quantum state. Finally, fidelity concept was used to check the similarity between input state and output state which, in fact, shows the degree of success in teleportation. In this way, the effect of different parameters on the fidelity was determined. It was concluded that quantum channel comprised of four-qubit spin chain which has thermal equilibrium is an appropriate candidate for quantum transfer of information.

Quantum state transfer through a spin chain in a multiexcitation subspace

Zhao-Ming Wang, Ruisong Ma, C. Allen Bishop +1 more

We investigate the quality of quantum state transfer through a uniformly coupled antiferromagnetic spin chain in a multiexcitation subspace. The fidelity of state transfer using multiexcitation channels is found to compare well with communication protocols based on the ground state of a spin chain with ferromagnetic interactions. Our numerical results support the conjecture that the fidelity of state transfer through a multiexcitation subspace only depends on the number of initial excitations present in the chain and is independent of the excitation ordering. Based on these results, we describe a communication scheme which requires little effort for preparation.

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.

Effect of Spin Dimensionality in the Fidelity of Spin Chain Quantum Communication

Art Graeson Briones Dumigpe, Eric A. Galapon

We consider an unmodulated linear spin chain composed of two qubits at the ends, which undergo nearest-neighbor interactions, with an arbitrary spin between them. The state of the qubit on one end is to be transmitted through the arbitrary spin and is received by the qubit on the other end with some fidelity. We look at the behavior of the average f idelity of state transfer through time as affected by the spin quantum number of the arbitrary spin in between the qubits. We f ind that the higher the spin quantum number becomes, the earlier it takes to achieve perfect or nearly perfect state transfer. Moreover, when the channel with arbitrary spin is subjected to environment interaction, results from the calculation of average fidelity suggest that increasing the spin quantum number of the channel provides a countermeasure to the effects of decoherence induced by the environment.

Thermal entanglement,mixture and quantum communication in a spin chain

Wang Cheng-Zhi

The two-body thermal entanglement and mixture in a three-spin spin chain in thermal equilibrium state are investigated, and the effects of the temperature and magnetic field on the entanglement and mixture are discussed. It is found that, in the ground state, an important class of states, i.e., maximally entangled mixed states, can be generated by controlling magnetic field, which provide a new way to generate maximally entangled mixed states and control entanglement. Further, the spin chain in the thermal equilibrium is used as a quantum channel for quantum communication. The effects of temperature and magnetic field on fidelity are discussed. It is shown that the temperature and magnetic field have vast effects on the fidelity. The relation between fidelity and two-body thermal entanglement is given, which shows that more amount of entanglement does not means higher fidelity.

Quantum state transmission through a spin chain in finite-temperature heat baths

Zhao-Ming Wang, Feng-Hua Ren, Da-Wei Luo +2 more

Abstract Transmission of a quantum state is essential for performing quantum information processing tasks. The communication channel will be inevitably immersed in its surrounding environment under realistic conditions. In this paper, we investigate the influence of environment noise on the transmission fidelity when transferring a quantum state through a spin chain. The non-Markovian open system dynamics is systematically analyzed by using the quantum state diffusion equation method. With each spin immersed in its own finite temperature and non-Markovian heat bath, we consider three types of system–bath interaction: dephasing, dissipation and spin-boson. The transmission fidelity is found to decrease with the increasing bath temperature and system–bath coupling strength. Interestingly, we find that the bath non-Markovianity can help enhancing the transmission fidelity.
