Adiabatic Quantum State Transfer in an Array of Spins

ORAL

Abstract

Any scalable quantum processor with many qubits requires interqubit connectivity for the efficient execution of useful quantum algorithms. In recent years, there has been significant progress in both theoretical and experimental efforts aimed at improving connectivity in spin-qubits, which are usually defined in one- or two-dimensional arrays. Here we demonstrate evidence of adiabatic quantum-state transfer (AQT) of single-spin eigenstates and two-spin entangled states in a chain of four spins in gate defined quantum-dots in a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure. We transfer spin states from one side of the array to the other side in tens of nanoseconds with simulated transfer probabilities exceeding 90% via adiabatic modulation of the nearest-neighbor exchange couplings between spins. We also demonstrate that this method is scalable for longer arrays of spin-qubits. AQT is robust to noise and pulse-timing errors and it will be useful for initialization, state distribution, and readout in large spin-qubit arrays.
