Almost exact state transfer in a spin chain via pulse control

Abstract

Quantum communication through spin chains has been extensively investigated. In this scenario, state transfer through linearly arranged spins connected by uniform nearest-neighbor couplings qualifies as a natural choice, with minimal control requirements. However, quantum states usually cannot be perfectly transferred through a uniformly coupled chain due to the dispersion of the chain. Here, we propose an effective quantum control technique to realize almost exact state transfer (AEST) in a quantum spin chain. The strategy is to add a leakage elimination operator (LEO) Hamiltonian to the evolution, which implements a sequence of pulse control acting on a perfect state transfer subspace. By using the one-component Feshbach PQ partitioning technique, we obtain the conditions over the required pulses. AEST through a spin chain can then be obtained under a suitable pulse intensity and duration.
