Quantum-state transfer in staggered coupled-cavity arrays

GMA Almeida, F Ciccarello, TJG Apollaro, AMC Souza - Physical Review A, 2016 - APS
We consider a coupled-cavity array, where each cavity interacts with an atom under the
rotating-wave approximation. For a staggered pattern of intercavity couplings, a pair of field …

Quantum-state transfer via resonant tunneling through local-field-induced barriers

S Lorenzo, TJG Apollaro, A Sindona, F Plastina - Physical Review A—Atomic …, 2013 - APS
Efficient quantum-state transfer is achieved in a uniformly coupled spin-1/2 chain, with open
boundaries, by application of local magnetic fields on the second and last-but-one spins …

99-fidelity ballistic quantum-state transfer through long uniform channels

TJG Apollaro, L Banchi, A Cuccoli, R Vaia… - Physical Review A …, 2012 - APS
Quantum-state transfer with fidelity higher than 0.99 can be achieved in the ballistic regime
of an arbitrarily long one-dimensional chain with uniform nearest-neighbor interaction …

Transfer of arbitrary two-qubit states via a spin chain

S Lorenzo, TJG Apollaro, S Paganelli, GM Palma… - Physical Review A, 2015 - APS
We investigate the fidelity of the quantum state transfer (QST) of two qubits by means of an
arbitrary spin-1 2 network, on a lattice of any dimensionality. Under the assumptions that the …

Optimized dynamical control of state transfer through noisy spin chains

A Zwick, GA Álvarez, G Bensky… - New Journal of …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
We propose a method of optimally controlling the tradeoff of speed and fidelity of state
transfer through a noisy quantum channel (spin-chain). This process is treated as qubit state …

Disorder-assisted distribution of entanglement in spin chains

GMA Almeida, FABF de Moura, TJG Apollaro, ML Lyra - Physical Review A, 2017 - APS
We study the creation and distribution of entanglement in disordered XY-type spin-1/2
chains for the paradigmatic case of a single flipped spin prepared on a fully polarized …

Combating the effects of disorder in quantum state transfer

C Keele, A Kay - Physical Review A, 2022 - APS
In this paper we examine disorder (ie, static imperfections in manufacture) for the fixed-
Hamiltonian evolution protocol of quantum state transfer. We improve the performance by …

Flat-band quantum communication induced by disorder

GMA Almeida, RF Dutra, AMC Souza, ML Lyra… - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
We show that a qubit transfer protocol can be realized through a flat band hosted by a
disordered XX spin-1/2 diamond chain. In the absence of disorder, the transmission …

GMA Almeida, FABF de Moura, ML Lyra - Physics Letters A, 2018 - Elsevier
We study quantum-state transfer in XX spin-1/2 chains where both communicating spins are
weakly coupled to a channel featuring disordered on-site magnetic fields. Fluctuations are …
