Fast, high fidelity information transmission through spin chain quantum wires

Abstract

Spin chains have been proposed as quantum wires for information transfer in solid state quantum architectures. We show that huge gains in both transfer speed and fidelity are possible using a minimalist control approach that relies only a single, local, on-off switch actuator. Effective switching time sequences can be determined using optimization techniques for both ideal and disordered chains. Simulations suggest that effective optimization is possible even in the absence of accurate models.
