We establish a relation between Hahn spin-echo of a spin-$\frac 1 2 $ particle and quantum phase transition in a spin-chain, which couples to the particle. The Hahn echo is calculated and discussed at zero as well as at finite temperatures.…
Spin chains have been proposed as quantum wires in many quantum information processing architectures. Coherent transmission of quantum information over short distances is enabled by their internal dynamics, which drives the transport of…

This paper is motivated by the following problem. Define a quantum walk on a positively weighted path (linear chain). Can the weights be tuned so that perfect state transfer occurs between the first vertex and any other position? We do not…
Recently, in ["The coin-turning walk and its scaling limit", Electronic Journal of Probability, 25 (2020)], the ``coin-turning walk'' was introduced on ${\mathbb Z}$. It is a non-Markovian process where the steps form a (possibly)…
Discrete time (coined) quantum walks are produced by the repeated application of a constant unitary transformation to a quantum system. By recasting these walks into the setting of periodic perturbations to an otherwise freely evolving…

This paper concerns the problem of the high probability state transfer among $2^s$ symmetrically placed nodes of the $N$-nodes spins 1/2 chain with the ${XXZ}$ Hamiltonian. We consider examples with $(N,s)=(4,4)$, $(N,s)=(6,4)$ and…
We investigate quantum phase transitions in which a change in the type of entanglement from bound entanglement to either free entanglement or separability may occur. In particular, we present a theoretical method to construct a class of…
Precise knowledge of the Hamiltonian of a system is a key to many of its applications. Tasks such state transfer or quantum computation have been well studied with a linear chain, but hardly with systems, which do not possess a linear…
Consider a pure birth process with intensities {\lambda}(k) =1/(1+k), with k=0,1,2,..., we show that the subordinated chain is assimilable to a Bernoullian scheme with dependent successes probabilities, also we show a direct link with a…

Models of random walks are considered in which walkers are born at one location and die at all other locations with uniform death rate. Steady-state distributions of random walkers exhibit dimensionally dependent critical behavior as a…
