Wave packet transmission of Bloch electron manipulated by magnetic field

We study the phenomenon of wave packet revivals of Bloch electrons and explore how to control them by a magnetic field for quantum information transfer. It is showed that the single electron system can be modulated into a linear dispersion regime by the "quantized" flux and then an electronic wave packet with the components localized in this regime can be transferred without spreading. This feature can be utilized to perform the high-fidelity transfer of quantum information encoded in the polarization of the spin. Beyond the linear approximation, the re-localization and self-interference occur as the novel phenomena of quantum coherence.

Quantum State Transfer Characterized by Mode Entanglement

We study the quantum state transfer (QST) of a class of tight-bonding Bloch electron systems with mirror symmetry by considering the mode entanglement. Some rigorous results are obtained to reveal the intrinsic relationship between the fidelity of QST and the mirror mode concurrence (MMC), which is defined to measure the mode entanglement with a certain spatial symmetry and is just the overlap of a proper wave function with its mirror image. A complementarity is discovered as the maximum fidelity is accompanied by a minimum of MMC. And at the instant, which is just half of the characteristic time required to accomplish a perfect QST, the MMC can reach its maximum value one. A large class of perfect QST models with a certain spectrum structure are discovered to support our analytical results.

Quantum state swapping via qubit network with Hubbard interaction

We study the quantum state transfer (QST) in a class of qubit network with on-site interaction, which is described by the generalized Hubbard model with engineered couplings. It is proved that the system of two electrons with opposite spins in this quantum network of $N$ sites can be rigorously reduced into $N$ one dimensional engineered single Bloch electron models with central potential barrier. With this observation we find that such system can perform a perfect QST, the quantum swapping between two distant electrons with opposite spins. Numerical results show such QST and the resonant-tunnelling for the optimal on-site interaction strengths.

Perfect transfer of many-particle quantum state via high-dimensional systems with spectrum-matched symmetry

The quantum state transmission (QST) through the medium of high-dimensional many-particle system is studied with a symmetry analysis. We discover that, if the spectrum matches the symmetry of a fermion or boson system in a certain fashion, a perfect quantum state transfer can be implemented without any operation on the medium. Based on this observation the well-established results for the QST via quantum spin chains can be generalized to the high-dimensional many-particle systems with pre-engineered nearest neighbor (NN) hopping constants. By investigating a simple but realistic near half-filled tight-binding fermion system with uniform NN hopping integral, we show that an arbitrary many-particle state near the fermi surface can be perfectly transferred to its translational counterpart.

Effective boson-spin model for nuclei ensemble based universal quantum memory

We study the collective excitation of a macroscopic ensemble of polarized nuclei fixed in a quantum dot. Under the approximately homogeneous condition that we explicitly present in this paper, this many-particle system behaves as a single mode boson interacting with the spin of a single conduction band electron confined in this quantum dot. Within this effective spin-boson system, the quantum information carried by the electronic spin can be coherently transferred into the collective bosonic mode of excitation in the ensemble of nuclei. In this sense, the collective bosonic excitation can serve as a stable quantum memory to store the quantum information of spin state of electron.

Quantum information storage and state transfer based on spin systems

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.

Engineering antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin chains for maximizing of the groundstate entanglement

We study the correlation function and concurrence for the eigenstates with zero spin of engineered Heisenberg models to explore the entanglement property. It is shown that the total nearest neighbor (NN) correlation function of zero-spin eigenstates reaches its local extremum when the coupling strength is uniform, and correspondingly the groundstate entanglement of $d$-D cubic AF Heisenberg model is locally maximized. Moreover, numerical calculations for a $N$-site quantum spin ring with cosinusoidally modulated exchange coupling, i.e. $J_i=J(1+\cos(2πi/N))$, indicate that the uniform coupling is not the unique optimal distribution for maximizing the groundstate entanglement and this modulation of interactions can induce the longer range entanglement.

On the Harmonic approximation for large Josephson junction coupling charge qubits

We revisit the harmonic approximation (HA) for a large Josephson junction interacting with some charge qubits through the variational approach for the quantum dynamics of the junction-qubit coupling system. By making use of numerical calculation and analytical treatment, the conditions under which HA works well can be precisely presented to control the parameters implementing the two-qubit quantum logical gate through the couplings to the large junction with harmonic oscillator (HO) Hamiltonian.

Quantum state transfer via the ferromagnetic chain in a spatially modulated field

We show that a perfect quantum state transmission can be realized through a spin chain possessing a commensurate structure of energy spectrum, which is matched with the corresponding parity. As an exposition of the mirror inversion symmetry discovered by Albanese et. al (quant-ph/0405029), the parity matched the commensurability of energy spectra help us to present the novel pre-engineered spin systems for quantum information transmission. Based on the these theoretical analysis, we propose a protocol of near-perfect quantum state transfer by using a ferromagnetic Heisenberg chain with uniform coupling constant, but an external parabolic magnetic field. The numerical results shows that the initial Gaussian wave packet in this system with optimal field distribution can be reshaped near-perfectly over a longer distance.

Quantum decoherence in a supersymmetric mechanical system

We make a novel observation about the decoherence phenomenon of the fermion in the Witten's supersymmetric (SUSY) quantum mechanical model. It is shown that, when the bosonic partner in the SUNY model is unobservable in a certain energy scale, the quantum coherence meant by the superposition of fermion states can not be preserved for a long time due to the quantum decoherence induced by the overlooked boson. This refers to a supercharge superselection rule similar to the charge superselection. We numerically calculate the decoherence factor characterizing the extent of decoherence . The obtained result shows the periodic decoherence with finite quantum jump. Some analytic results under the harmonic approximation for the superpotential can be obtained to confirm the numerical calculations.

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

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.
