Abstract

In short-range interacting systems, the speed at which entanglement can be established between two separated points is limited by a constant Lieb-Robinson velocity. Long-range interacting systems are capable of faster entanglement generation, but the degree of the speed-up possible is an open question. In this paper, we present a protocol capable of transferring a quantum state across a distance in dimensions using long-range interactions with strength bounded by . If , the state transfer time is asymptotically independent of ; if , the time is logarithmic in distance ; if , transfer occurs in time proportional to ; and if , it occurs in time proportional to . We then use this protocol to upper bound the time required to create a state specified by a MERA (multiscale entanglement renormalization ansatz) tensor network, and show that, if the linear size of the MERA state is , then it can be created in time that scales with identically to state transfer up to multiplicative logarithmic corrections.
