Perfect State Transfer in Quantum Spin Networks

TLDR
It is shown that 2log3N is the maximal perfect communication distance for hypercube geometries if one allows fixed but different couplings between the qubits, then perfect state transfer can be achieved over arbitrarily long distances in a linear chain.
Abstract
We propose a class of qubit networks that admit the perfect state transfer of any quantum state in a fixed period of time. Unlike many other schemes for quantum computation and communication, these networks do not require qubit couplings to be switched on and off. When restricted to N-qubit spin networks of identical qubit couplings, we show that 2log3N is the maximal perfect communication distance for hypercube geometries. Moreover, if one allows fixed but different couplings between the qubits, then perfect state transfer can be achieved over arbitrarily long distances in a linear chain.

Perfect Transfer of Arbitrary States in Quantum Spin Networks

TL;DR: Christandl et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a class of qubit networks that admit perfect state transfer of any two-dimensional quantum state in a fixed period of time, and they further showed that such networks can distribute arbitrary entangled states between two distant parties, and can, by using such systems in parallel, transmit the higher-dimensional systems states across the network.

Quantum communication through spin chain dynamics: an introductory overview

TL;DR: A spin chain is a permanently coupled 1D system of spins as discussed by the authors, which can be used to connect quantum registers without resorting to optics, and it has been shown that it is possible to achieve perfect quantum state transfer through spin chains.
