Coherent Quantum Transport in Waveguide Lattices

Abstract

The coherent transport of quantum states between distant qubits is one of the key milestones towards the realisation of large-scale quantum computers [1]. For static qubits, this state transfer is often envisioned to be carried out only by the internal dynamics of the system, which has the great advantage that detrimental influences of the environment are minimised. A chain of spin-1/2-qubits with ferromagnetic coupling has been suggested as an implementation of a coherent transport which is perfect in theory [2]. In this scheme, a precise engineering of the coupling strengths between adjacent spins is crucial. To date, such a quantum state transfer has only been achieved for the modest system size of three qubits, employing nuclear magnetic resonance [3]. However, this concept is by no means restricted to spin chains; it is therefore possible to resort to another physical platform, such as optics, to investigate the capabilities of the transferring Hamiltonian.
