We introduce an adiabatic transfer protocol for spin states in large quantum dot arrays that is based on time-dependent modulation of the Heisenberg exchange interaction in the presence of a magnetic field gradient. We refer to this protocol as spin-CTAP (coherent transport by adiabatic passage) in analogy to a related protocol developed for charge-state transfer in quantum dot arrays. The insensitivity of this adiabatic protocol to pulse imperfections has potential advantages for reading out extended spin qubit arrays. When the static exchange interaction varies across the array, a quantum-controlled version of spin-CTAP is possible, where the transfer process is conditional on the spin states in the middle of the array. This conditional operation can be used to generate $N$ -qubit entangled GHZ states. Using a realistic noise model, we analyze the robustness of the spin-CTAP operations and find that high-fidelity ( $>95%$ ) spin eigenstate transfer and GHZ state preparation is feasible in current devices.We introduce an adiabatic transfer protocol for spin states in large quantum dot arrays that is based on time-dependent modulation of the Heisenberg exchange interaction in the presence of a magnetic field gradient.

Fast long-range charge transfer in quantum dot arrays

Yue Ban, Xi Chen, Gloria Platero

Charge, spin and quantum states transfer in solid state devices is an important issue in quantum information. Adiabatic protocols, such as coherent transfer by adiabatic passage have been proposed for direct charge transfer, also denoted as long-range transfer, between the outer dots in a QD array without occupying the intermediate ones. However adiabatic protocols are prone to decoherence. With the aim of achieving direct charge transfer between the outer dots of a QD array with high fidelity, we propose a protocol to speed up the adiabatic transfer, in order to increase the fidelity of the process. Based on adiabaticity shortcuts, by properly engineering the pulses, fast adiabatic-like direct charge transfer between the outer dots can be obtained. We also discuss the impact of transfer fidelity on the operation time in the presence of dephasing. The proposed protocols for accelerating long-range charge and state transfer in a QD array offer a robust mechanism for quantum information transfer, by minimizing the decoherence and relaxation processes.Charge, spin and quantum states transfer in solid state devices is an important issue in quantum information.
