Computing scalar products via a two-terminal quantum transmission line

The scalar product of two vectors with $K$ real components can be computed using two quantum channels, that is, information transmission lines in the form of spin-1/2 XX chains. Each channel has its own $K$-qubit sender and both channels share a single two-qubit receiver. The $K$ elements of each vector are encoded in the pure single-excitation initial states of the senders. After time evolution, a bi-linear combination of these elements appears in the only matrix element of the second-order coherence matrix of the receiver state. An appropriate local unitary transformation of the extended receiver turns this combination into a renormalized version of the scalar product of the original vectors. The squared absolute value of this scaled scalar product is the intensity of the second-order coherence which consequently can be measured, for instance, employing multiple-quantum NMR. The unitary transformation generating the scalar product of two-element vectors is presented as an example.

Two-channel spin-chain communication line and simple quantum gates

We consider the remote creation of a mixed state in a one-qubit receiver connected to two two-qubit senders via different channels. {Channels are assumed to be chains of spins (qubits) with nearest-neighbor interactions, no external fields are being applied.} The problem of sharing the creatable region of the receiver's state-space between two senders is considered for a communication line with the receiver located asymmetrically with respect to these senders (asymmetric communication line). An example of a quantum register realizing simple functions is constructed on the basis of a symmetric communication line. In that setup, the initial states of the two senders serve as input and control signals, respectively, while the state of the receiver at a proper time instant is considered as the output signal.

Remote two-qubit state creation and its robustness

We consider the problem of remote two-qubit state creation using the two-qubit excitation pure initial state of the sender. The communication line is based on the optimized boundary controlled chain with two pairs of properly adjusted coupling constants. The creation of the two-qubit Werner state is considered as an example. We also study the effects of imperfections of the chain on the state-creation.

Disorder Induced Quantum Phase Transition in Random-Exchange Spin-1/2 Chains

We investigate the effect of quenched bond-disorder on the anisotropic spin-1/2 (XXZ) chain as a model for disorder induced quantum phase transitions. We find non-universal behavior of the average correlation functions for weak disorder, followed by a quantum phase transition into a strongly disordered phase with only short-range xy-correlations. We find no evidence for the universal strong-disorder fixed point predicted by the real-space renormalization group, suggesting a qualitatively different view of the relationship between quantum fluctuations and disorder.
