| contents | 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 the state prepared at the beginning of the transfer protocol. When averaged over all the possible initial states, the figure of merit quantifies the quality of the protocol. There are proposals for optimizing a given Hamiltonian to accomplish a particular task. The transfer of quantum states is one of them. In particular, we consider the design of Heisenberg spin chains using a genetic algorithm. This very efficient algorithm allows us to study different properties of Hamiltonians with good to excellent transfer ability. One apparent drawback of using a random search method is that it results in exchange coefficient strengths that change abruptly from site to site. Modifying the cost function, we obtain Hamiltonians with exchange coefficients varying smoothly along the chain length. Our results show that the smoothed Hamiltonians have the same, or less, transfer ability than the rough ones, and both kinds show similar robustness against static disorder. By studying the statistical properties of the eigenvalues of Hamiltonians with varying transfer abilities, we determine the ensemble of random matrices to which the spectra belong. |
