Abstract

Based on the concept of average fidelity,properties of quantum state transfer through the three-spin chain with impurity spin are studied.The computing results reveal that,the maximum average fidelity can be attained by implementing proper local quantum unitary operation to the spin held by the receiver,or by applying proper external magnetic field.

Optimized quantum state transfer through an XY spin chain

Yang Liu, Dong Zhou

Quantum state transfer along a one-dimensional spin chain has become a fundamental ingredient for quantum communication between distant nodes in a quantum network. We study the average fidelity of quantum state transfer (QST) along an $XY$ spin chain by adjusting the basis identification between the first spin and the last spin. In a proper choice of the basis identification, we find that the QST fidelity depends only on the average parity of the initial state linearly. We propose a simple scheme to adjust the basis identification to optimize the average fidelity such that it depends linearly on the absolute value of the average parity. In the case where the absolute value of the average parity is 1 we prove that the fidelity takes the maximum at any time over arbitrary initial state and basis identification.

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.

Identifying quantum states capable of high-fidelity transmission over a spin chain

Zhao-Ming Wang, Lian-Ao Wu, C. Allen Bishop +2 more

A uniformly coupled double-quantum Hamiltonian for a spin chain has recently been implemented experimentally. We propose a method for the determination of initial quantum states that will provide perfect or near-perfect state transmission for an arbitrary Hamiltonian including this one. By calculating the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a unitary operator obtained from the free evolution plus an exchange operator, we find that the double-quantum Hamiltonian spin chain will support a three-spin initial encoding that will transfer along the chain with remarkably high fidelity. The fidelity is also found to decrease very slowly with increasing chain length. In addition, we are able to explain previous results showing exceptional transfer using this method.

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.

Average fidelity of qubit transfer through a linear spin-S channel for N=4, 5, 6

Art Graeson Briones Dumigpe, Eric A. Galapon

We consider the transfer of an arbitrary qubit state through a linear spin chain for N=4, 5, and 6 spins, each with a spin-S channel. We calculate the average fidelity between the arbitrary initial state of the qubit at one end and the time evolved qubit state at the opposite end of the chain. We show that increasing the quantum number S of the channel spins allows attaining near perfect state transfer at an earlier time for the isotropic exchange case. We also show that an opposite effect is observed in the anisotropic case.

High-fidelity state transfer over an unmodulated linear XY spin chain

C. Allen Bishop, Yong-Cheng Ou, Zhao-Ming Wang +1 more

We provide a class of initial encodings that can be sent with a high fidelity over an unmodulated, linear, $\mathit{XY}$ spin chain. As an example, an average fidelity of $96%$ can be obtained using an 11-spin encoding to transmit a state over a chain containing 10 000 spins. An analysis of the magnetic-field dependence is given, and conditions for field optimization are provided.
