Autonomous Quantum State Transfer by Dissipation Engineering

Abstract

Quantum state transfer from an information-carrying qubit to a receiving qubit is ubiquitous for quantum information technology. In a closed quantum system, this task requires precisely-timed control of coherent qubit-qubit interactions that are intrinsically reciprocal. Here, breaking reciprocity by tailoring dissipation in an open system, we show that it is possible to autonomously transfer a quantum state between stationary qubits without time-dependent control. We present the general requirements for this directional transfer process, and show that the minimum system dimension for transferring one qubit of information is 3 $\times$ 2 (between one physical qutrit and one physical qubit), plus one auxiliary reservoir. We propose realistic implementations in present-day superconducting circuit QED experiments, and further propose schemes compatible with long-distance state transfer using impedance-matched dissipation engineering.
