Most of the investigations to date on tight-binding, quantum percolation models focused on the quantum percolation threshold, i.e., the analogue to the Anderson transition. It appears to occur if roughly 30% of the hopping terms are…
A strongly coupled spin chain can mediate long-distance effective couplings or entanglement between remote qubits, and can be used as a quantum data bus. We study how the fidelity of a spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain as a spin bus is affected by…
We introduce a model of a quantum walk on a graph in which a particle jumps between neighboring nodes and interacts with independent spins sitting on the edges. Entanglement propagates with the walker. We apply this model to the case of a…
We construct the exact solution for a family of one-half spin chains explicitly. The spin chains Hamiltonian corresponds to an isotropic Heisenberg Hamiltonian, with staggered exchange couplings that take only two different values. We work…

We study the non-equilibrium transport properties of a highly anisotropic two-dimensional lattice of spin-1/2 particles governed by a Heisenberg XXZ Hamiltonian. The anisotropy of the lattice allows us to approximate the system at finite…
A recent numerical study of short chains found near-perfect quantum state transfer between the boundary sites of a spin-1/2 XX chain if a sufficiently strong magnetic field acts on these sites. We show that the phenomenon is based on a pair…

The manner in which spin-polarized electrons interact with a magnetized thin film is currently described by a semi-classical approach. This in turn provides our present understanding of the spin transfer, or spin torque phenomenon. However,…

Designing a good transfer channel for arbitrary quantum states in spin chains implies optimizing a cost function, usually the averaged fidelity of transmission. The fidelity of transmission measures how much the transferred state resembles…

For a wide class of bipartite systems with localized couplings, we establish existence of an effective light-cone for propagation of entanglement. This result yields a hard lower bound on the time it takes, under ideal conditions (no loss,…
Using a global optimization algorithm we obtain spin chains with site-dependent exchange coefficients which allow almost perfect quantum state transfer between the extremes of the chains without any further time-dependent external control.…
Theory of weak localization is developed for electrons in semiconductor quantum wells grown along [110] and [111] crystallographic axes. Anomalous conductivity correction caused by weak localization is calculated for symmetrically doped…
The longstanding open problem of approximating all singular vertex couplings in a quantum graph is solved. We present a construction in which the edges are decoupled; an each pair of their endpoints is joined by an edge carrying a $\delta$…
Perfect state transfer between qubits on a uniformly coupled network, with interactions specified by a graph, has advantages over an engineered chain, such as much faster transfer times (independent of the distance between the input and…
