Wave packet transmission of Bloch electron manipulated by magnetic field
We study the phenomenon of wave packet revivals of Bloch electrons and
explore how to control them by a magnetic field for quantum information
transfer. It is showed that the single electron system can be modulated into a
linear dispersion regime by the "quantized" flux and then an electronic wave
packet with the components localized in this regime can be transferred without
spreading. This feature can be utilized to perform the high-fidelity transfer
of quantum information encoded in the polarization of the spin. Beyond the
linear approximation, the re-localization and self-interference occur as the
novel phenomena of quantum coherence.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures, new content adde
