Abstract

Abstract In quantum computation and quantum information processing, the manipulation and engineering of quantum systems to suit certain purposes is an ongoing task. One such example is quantum state transfer (QST), an essential requirement for both quantum communication and large-scale quantum computation. Here we engineer a chain of four superconducting qubits with tunable couplers to realize the perfect state transfer (PST) protocol originally proposed in quantum spin networks and successfully demonstrate the efficient transfer of an arbitrary single-qubit state from one end of the chain to the other, achieving a high fidelity of 0.986 in just 25 nanoseconds. This demonstrated QST is readily to extend to larger chain and multi-node configurations, thus serving as a desirable tool for scalable quantum information processing.
