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…
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…
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…
