Transfer of 0-order coherence matrix along spin-1/2 chain

In this work, we study transfer of coherence matrices along spin-1/2 chains of various length. Unlike higher order coherence matrices, 0-order coherence matrix can be perfectly transferred if its elements are properly fixed. In certain cases, to provide the perfect transfer, an extended receiver together with optimized its unitary transformation has to be included into the protocol. In this work, the asymptotic perfectly transferable 0-order coherence matrix for an infinitely long chain is considered and deviation of a perfectly transferred state from this asymptotic state is studied as a function of the chain length for various sizes of the extended receiver. The problem of arbitrary parameter transfer via the nondiagonal elements of the 0-order coherence matrix is also considered and optimized using the unitary transformation of the extended receiver.Comment: 32 pages, 5 figure
