Memory-assisted advantage for state transfer in disordered quantum many-body scar system
Paranjoy Chaki, Ujjwal Sen
We analyze how memory in disorder facilitates quantum communication in many-body scar systems. We consider three distinct types of disorder, viz., memoryful, and memoryless uniform and Gaussian, and compare their respective performances in facilitating quantum state transfer. Using the maximum transfer fidelity and fidelity area as figures of merit, we find that memoryful disorder yields a better performance than the memoryless disordered channels. Furthermore, the maximum transfer fidelity exhibits an initial parabolic decay with disorder strength, followed by a linear decrease, for all the disorder models considered. We introduce a degree of scarness, and show that it is higher for memoryful disorder in comparison to memoryless disorders, implying a role of scarness in the quantum state transfer protocol. We further perform a scaling analysis, revealing that memory effect in disorder is not only beneficial for short-distance but also long-distance quantum state transfer. Finally, we show that the state yielding the maximum transfer fidelity has larger inverse participation ratio for memoryful disorder in comparison to the other two disorders, highlighting the role of nonergodicity in enhancing state transfer.
