Fast and efficient long-distance quantum state transfer in long-range spin- models
F. Faria, C. C. Nelmes, T. J. G. Apollaro +2
Quantum state transfer is investigated beyond the nearest-neighbour coupling scheme in long spin- linear chains. Exploiting the properties of the next-nearest neighbou…
Remnants of Anderson localization in pre-thermalization induced by white noise
S. Lorenzo, T. Apollaro, G. M. Palma +3
We study the non-equilibrium evolution of a one-dimensional quantum Ising chain with spatially disordered, time-dependent, transverse fields characterised by white noise correlatio…
Local Quench, Majorana Zero Modes, and Disturbance Propagation in the Ising chain
G. Francica, T. J. G. Apollaro, N. Lo Gullo +1
We study the generation and propagation of local perturbations in a quantum many-body spin system. In particular, we study the Ising model in transverse field in the presence of a…
Entanglement entropy in a periodically driven quantum Ising chain
Tony J. G. Apollaro, G. Massimo Palma, Jamir Marino
We numerically study the dynamics of entanglement entropy, induced by an oscillating time periodic driving of the transverse field, h(t), of a one-dimensional quantum Ising chain.…
Irreversible work and inner friction in quantum thermodynamic processes
F. Plastina, A. Alecce, T. J. G. Apollaro +5
We discuss the thermodynamics of closed quantum systems driven out of equilibrium by a change in a control parameter and undergoing a unitary process. We compare the work actually…
Work statistics, irreversible heat and correlations build-up in joining two spin chains
Tony J. G. Apollaro, Gianluca Francica, Mauro Paternostro +1
We investigate the influences of quantum many-body effects, such as criticality and the existence of factorisation fields, in the thermodynamic cost of establishing a bonding link…
Effective cutting of a quantum spin chain by bond impurities
T. J. G. Apollaro, F. Plastina, L. Banchi +4
Spin chains are promising media for short-haul quantum communication. Their usefulness is manifested in all those situations where stationary information carriers are involved. In…
Quantum-state transfer via resonant tunnelling through local field induced barriers
S. Lorenzo, T. J. G. Apollaro, A. Sindona +1
Efficient quantum-state transfer is achieved in a uniformly coupled spin-1/2 chain, with open boundaries, by application of local magnetic fields on the second and last-but-one spi…
Propagation of non-classical correlations across a quantum spin chain
S. Campbell, T. J. G. Apollaro, C. Di Franco +5
We study the transport of quantum correlations across a chain of interacting spin-1/2 particles. As a quantitative figure of merit, we choose a symmetric version of quantum discord…
