Duplex quantum communication through a spin chain
arXiv:1106.3502 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.84.022345
Abstract
Data multiplexing within a quantum computer can allow for the simultaneous transfer of multiple streams of information over a shared medium thereby minimizing the number of channels needed for requisite data transmission. Here, we investigate a two-way quantum communication protocol using a spin chain placed in an external magnetic field. In our scheme, Alice and Bob each play the role of a sender and a receiver as two states cos(θ1/2)|0> + sin(θ1/2)exp(iϕ1)|1>, cos(θ2/2)|0> + sin(θ2/2)exp(iϕ2)|1> are transferred through one channel simultaneously. We find that the transmission fidelity at each end of a spin chain can usually be enhanced by the presence of a second party. This is an important result for establishing the viability of duplex quantum communication through spin chain networks.
