Abstract

The idea of quantum state storage is generalized to describe the coherent transfer of quantum information through a coherent data bus. In this universal framework, we comprehensively review our recent systematical investigations to explore the possibility of implementing the physical processes of quantum information storage and state transfer by using quantum spin systems, which may be an isotropic antiferromagnetic spin ladder system or a ferromagnetic Heisenberg spin chain. Our studies emphasize the physical mechanisms and the fundamental problems behind the various protocols for the storage and transfer of quantum information in solid state systems.

Our work generally focuses on the problems of quantum information physics and more specifically on the problem of secret key distribution using the spin1 chain. Spin-1 antiferromagnetic chain allows noiseless information transfer from photonic to spin subsystem and the information storage with 100% fidelity due to features of spin-1 antiferromagnetic chain like as a gap spectrum excitation and a coherent ground state of whole chain with total spin equals to1.

Coherent-state transfer via highly mixed quantum spin chains

Paola Cappellaro, Lorenza Viola, Chandrasekhar Ramanathan

Spin chains have been proposed as quantum wires in many quantum-information processing architectures. Coherent transmission of quantum information in spin chains over short distances is enabled by their internal dynamics, which drives the transport of single-spin excitations in perfectly polarized chains. Given the practical challenge of preparing the chain in a pure state, we propose to use a chain that is initially in the maximally mixed state. We compare the transport properties of pure and mixed-state chains and find similarities that enable the experimental study of pure-state transfer via mixed-state chains. We also demonstrate protocols for the perfect transfer of quantum information in these chains. Remarkably, mixed-state chains allow the use of Hamiltonians that do not preserve the total number of single-spin excitations and are more readily obtainable from the naturally occurring magnetic dipolar interaction. We discuss experimental implementations using solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance and defect centers in diamond.

Coherent quantum transport in waveguide lattices

Robert Keil, Armando Pérez-Leija, Alastair Kay +6 more

The coherent transport of quantum states between distant qubits is one of the key milestones towards the realisation of large-scale quantum computers [1]. For static qubits, this state transfer is often envisioned to be carried out only by the internal dynamics of the system, which has the great advantage that detrimental influences of the environment are minimised. A chain of spin-1/2-qubits with ferromagnetic coupling has been suggested as an implementation of a coherent transport which is perfect in theory [2]. In this scheme, a precise engineering of the coupling strengths between adjacent spins is crucial. To date, such a quantum state transfer has only been achieved for the modest system size of three qubits, employing nuclear magnetic resonance [3]. However, this concept is by no means restricted to spin chains; it is therefore possible to resort to another physical platform, such as optics, to investigate the capabilities of the transferring Hamiltonian.

Quantum Information Encoding and Transmission in Spin Networks

Jincheng Zhang

This paper investigates the potential of spin networks as a novel platform for quantum information encoding and transmission. Leveraging the inherent properties of spin entanglement, we explore methods for encoding information within the quantum spin states and utilizing spin interactions for efficient data transfer. The core concept revolves around harnessing spin entanglement to represent and manipulate quantum information. We present a theoretical framework outlining the key components and challenges involved in this approach. Specifically, we examine different encoding schemes, analyzing their robustness against decoherence and exploring strategies for mitigating these effects. Furthermore, we investigate the dynamics of spin interactions within the network, focusing on protocols for reliable information transmission. The work contributes to the growing field of quantum information processing by proposing a fundamentally new architecture based on readily accessible and controllable spin systems. The proposed network architecture offers advantages in terms of scalability and potential for integration with existing quantum technologies.

Quantum-state transmission via a spin ladder as a robust data bus

Ying Li, Tao Shi, Bing Chen +2 more

We explore the physical mechanism to coherently transfer the quantum information of spin by connecting two spins to an isotropic antiferromagnetic spin ladder system as data bus. Due to a large spin gap existing in such a perfect medium, the effective Hamiltonian of the two connected spins can be archived as that of Heisenberg type, which possesses a ground state with maximal entanglement. We show that the effective coupling strength is inversely proportional to the distance of the two spins and thus the quantum information can be transferred between the two spins separated by a longer distance, i.e., the characteristic time of quantum-state transferring linearly depends on the distance.
