Barenco gate implementation using driven two- and three-qubit spin chains

Rafael Vieira, Edgard P. M. Amorim

We propose a protocol for implementing Barenco-type multi-qubit controlled gates using short driven spin chains. Starting from an Ising interaction with a transverse drive on the l…

Parrondo-type enhancement of quantum-state transfer in spin chains

Rafael Vieira, Edgard P. M. Amorim

Spin chains have been widely studied as quantum channels for short-distance communication in quantum devices, where many-body dynamics can mediate quantum-state transfer between di…

Absorption-based qubit estimation in discrete-time quantum walks

Edgard P. M. Amorim, Lorena R. Cerutti, O. P. de Sá Neto +1

We investigate state estimation in discrete-time quantum walks with a single absorbing boundary. Using a spectral approach, we obtain closed expressions for the escape probability…

Continuous-time quantum walks on a defective lattice: Boosting the spreading of delocalized states through Parrondo's strategy

João V. Cordeiro, Eduardo I. Duzzioni, Edgard P. M. Amorim

We investigate the quantum transport of delocalized states in continuous-time quantum walks (CTQWs) on a one-dimensional lattice containing a single defect. The defect is modeled b…

Control of vertex probability via edge-weight modulation in continuous-time quantum walks

Rafael Vieira, Edgard P. M. Amorim

Continuous-time quantum walks (CTQWs) provide a versatile framework for exploring quantum transport on graphs. In this work, we investigate how the introduction of edge-weight modu…

High-fidelity state transfer via quantum walks from delocalized states

João P. Engster, Rafael Vieira, Eduardo I. Duzzioni +1

We study the state transfer through quantum walks placed on a bounded one-dimensional path. We first consider continuous-time quantum walks from a Gaussian state. We find such a st…

Localization in Quantum Walks with a Single Lattice Defect: A Comparative Study

Laurita I. da S. Teles, Edgard P. M. Amorim

We study how a single lattice defect in a discrete time quantum walk affects the return probability of a quantum particle. This defect at the starting position is modeled by a quan…
