Abstract
We show that the mixed states of a certain structure can be transferred from the sender to the
receiver without twisting the matrix elements. The only effect of such state transfer is scaling of
some blocks of the transferred matrix, therewith equal scaling of certain blocks is possible. Such
block-scaled states can be transferred along homogeneous spin-1/2 chains. We consider the transfer
of two-qubit states and find out states admitting the perfect transfer of their zero-order coherence
matrices.

I. INTRODUCTION
2
unitary transformation at the receiver side was used in [21] for a specific state-structure.
The mentioned untwisting tool of unitary transformation requires additional study. In-
stead, we show in this paper that each MQ-coherence matrix can evolve without twisting
its elements in the case of proper initial state. Moreover, in certain cases the evolution of
these matrices can be reduced to just multiplication by a constant parameter thus scaling
them. We also show that the sender’s zero-order coherence matrix of a special structure
can be perfectly transferred to the receiver’s zero-order coherence matrix. Furthermore we
show that the scaling coefficient can be the same for the higher order coherence matrices.
All these arguments are justified using an example of a two-qubit state transfer.
The paper has the following structure. General discussion of block-scaled states is given in
Sec.II. Transfer of one-qubit block-scaled states is considered in Sec.III. The detailed study
of two-qubit block-scaled state transfer is represented in Sec.IV. Basic results are discussed
in Sec.V. Analytical derivation of the two-qubit state evolution and explicit formulas for the
elements of the receiver’s density matrix is given in the Appendix, Sec.VI.
The purpose of the initial-state transfer from the sender to the receiver is obtaining
the sender’s initial-state at the receiver side at some time instant. However, generally, the
receiver’s state differs from the desired one. Usually the evolution mixes all the elements of
the initial state so that the elements of the receiver’s density matrix are linear combinations
of all the elements of the sender’s initial density matrix. However, there might be special
initial states and a special evolution Hamiltonian such that the elements of the receiver’s
density matrix are proportional to the appropriate elements of the sender’s density matrix
up to the normalization condition, i.e., for the M-qubit receiver,

where λij do not depend on the initial state and the 2M × 2M density matrix ρ(R) is defined
as

We select the diagonal element ρ2M 2M to satisfy the normalization condition, see Eq.(2),
although any diagonal element can be chosen for this purpose. The obtained results depend
on this choice, see Sec.III.
Relations (1,2) can be considered as a map of the elements of sender’s initial state density
matrix to the elements of the receiver’s density matrix. In particular, if the evolution
is governed by the Hamiltonian conserving the number of excitations in the system, for
instance, by the nearest neighbor XX-Hamiltonian

In other words, evolution scales the blocks of sender’s initial state ρ(S) (0). We refer to the
receiver’s state (8) as the block-scaled one. It will be shown in examples of Secs.III and IV

that |λ(i) | < 1, i > 0, so that the evolution compresses the higher order coherence matrices.
While λ(0) (which is real) can be grater or less then unit.
Finally, we consider the case of equal scaling factors for coherence-matrices of all non-zero
orders |i| > 0 (uniform scaling): λ(±M ) = · · · = λ(±1) = λ± , i.e.,
Hereafter we study maps (8) and (9) with real scaling factors: λ(i) = λ(−i) , λ− = λ+ = λ.
Here we consider the model of N-node spin-communication line with one-node sender
and one-node receiver connected by the transmission line of N − 2 spins. The problem of
state evolution in such communication line was considered in Ref.[19], here we remind the
nesessary details.
The initial state in our model is a tensor product state
where the sender’s state ρS0 is a pure one (we use the Dirac notations |0i and |1i for the
ground and excited spin states respectively):

The partial restoring (7) with M = 1 reads (the element ρ22 provides normalization)
(R;1) (S;1)
ρ12 = λ(1) ρ12 , (15)
(R;0) (S;0)
ρ11 = λ(0) ρ11 . (16)
so that λ(1) is independent on the initial state. On the contrary, condition (16) yields
−2eb − |f |2 + 2|a1 |2 |f |2 (1 + eb )
λ(0) = . (18)
2(eb + 1)(|a1|2 − 1)
Therefore λ(0) depends on the initial state in general (through the parameter a1 ). However,

which is independent on the initial state. It can be shown numerically that condition (19)
with f given in (14) can be satisfied for N ≤ 17. For the boundary value N = 17 we have
|f |2 = 0.673047 at t = 19.6551. In addition, one can simply verify that f is real for odd N
and imaginary for even N.

Another variant of the partial restoring reads (the element ρ11 provides normalization)
(R) (S)
ρ12 = λ(1) ρ12 , (21)

ρ22 = λ(0) ρ22 . (22)
In this case α22 depends on the initial state (the parameter a1 ) as follows

In the low temperature limit b → ∞ Eq.(23) reduces to
We consider the model of N-node spin-communication line with the two-node sender and
two-node receiver connected through the transmission line of N − 4 spins. The initial state
of this system is a product state (10) where the sender’s state ρS0 is an arbitrary mixed

and the explicit formulas for the non-zero elements of the matrices ρR;n can be found. Thus,
for the zero order coherence we have
(ρR;0 )ij = αij;11ρS11 + αij;22 ρS22 + αij;33 ρS33 + αij;44 ρS44 + αij;23 ρS23 + αij;32 (ρS23 )∗ , (29)

Appendix.
and, first, treat Eqs.(32) – (34) as independent maps. To clearly represent all details of creat-
ing the block-scaled states avoiding significant dumping we consider a short communication
line setting N = 6 in all numerical simulations.

Eq.(37) is nothing but the eigenvalue problem for the matrix T (1) , where λ(1) is the eigenvalue
and X (1) is the appropriate eigenvector. The 4 × 4 eigenvalue problem has four different

If det T (0) 6= 0, this map can be considered as a uniquely solvable linear system for X (0)
where λ(0) is an arbitrary real parameter.
We denote by ρ(X;1) and ρ̃(X;0) , respectively, the matrices ρ(S;1) and ρ̃(S;0) constructed on
the vectors X (1) and X (0) . We also denote by ρ(X;2) the matrix with all zero entries except
(X;2) (X;2) (S)
ρ14 = ρ41 = 1 and c(2) = ρ14 . Then maps (32) – (34) can be written as
ρ(R;2) (t, b) = (ρ(R;−2) (t, b))+ = λ(2) (t)c(2) ρ(X;2) (t, b), (41)
ρ(R;1) (t, b) = (ρ(R;−1) (t, b))+ = λ(1) (t, b)c(1) ρ(X;1) (t, b), (42)
ρ̃(R;0) (t, b) = λ(0) ρ̃(X;0) (t, b). (43)
In particular, if λ(i) = 1, i = 0, 1, 2, then ρ(R;i) ≡ ρ(S;i) = c(i) ρ(X;i) (c(0) = 1), which holds for
the perfect state transfer. Thus, the matrix
depends on three constant parameters: λ(0) , c(1) and c(2) . ρ(R) . Among these three parame-
ters, only λ(0) is real by its definition (diagonal elements of a density matrix must be real)
However, for simplicity, we consider c(1) and c(2) to be real as well. These parameters are
not arbitrary but must provide positivity for the density matrix. Therefore, they fill some
bounded allowed region in the three dimensional space with the boundary depending on t
and b.

B. Creatable regions in receiver’s state space
In this section we characterize the creatable region of the receiver’s state space in terms of
the parameters c(i) λ(i) , i = 1, 2 and λ(0) . However, we are most interested in creating a large
variety of higher-order coherence matrices. Therefore, we solve the optimization problem
(0)
of finding λopt , the time instance topt and the inverse temperature bopt that maximize the
creatable space in the plane of c(1) λ(1) and c(2) λ(2) . We consider three cases with λ(1) 6= λ(2)
(non-uniform scaling): (i) c(1) = 0, c(2) 6= 0, (ii) c(1) 6= 0, c(2) = 0, (iii) c(1) 6= 0, c(2) 6= 0, and
the case (iv) λ(1) = λ(2) , c(1) 6= 0, c(2) 6= 0 (uniform scaling of the higher order coherence
matrices). Numerical study shows that, if both c(1) 6= 0 and c(2) 6= 0, the creatable region at
fixed t, b and λ(0) fills the first quarter of the ellipse-like figure centered at coordinate origin
(1)
in the plane (c(1) λ(1) , c(2) λ(2) ). The semi-axes of this figure are cmax λ(1) (at c(2) = 0) and
(2)
cmax λ(2) (at c(1) = 0). We consider the area of this region as its characteristics which can be
(1) (2)
estimated as a product of the above semi-axes: S (12) = cmax λ(1) cmax λ(2) . We determine the
(0)
optimal values topt , bopt and λopt which maximize this quantity. In terms of notation
(i) (0)
copt = c(i) (topt , bopt , λopt), i = 1, 2, (45)
(i)
λopt = λ(i) (topt , bopt ), i = 1, 2,
If either c(2) = 0 or c(1) = 0, then the ellipse-like figure reduces to the interval and, instead of
(1) (2)
the area, we have the length of the interval, either S (1) = cmax λ(1) , or S (2) = cmax λ(2) . In this
(1) (2)
case the density matrix ρ(S) is positive if, respectively, 0 ≤ c(1) ≤ cmax or 0 ≤ c(2) ≤ cmax .
Accordingly, the maxima of S (i) read:
(1) (1) (1)
Smax = copt λopt , (47)
(2) (2) (2)
Smax = copt λopt . (48)
The parameter c(2) must provide for the non-negativity for the density matrix ρ(S) (0).
The optimization shows that the maximum of S (2) corresponds to b = bopt → ∞. In our case

and λopt = 1.0837. In addition, λopt = 0.8960. At these optimal values of λopt and topt , the

Now the parameter c(1) must provide the non-negativity for the density matrix ρ(S) (0).
Similar to S (2) in Sec.IV B 1, S (1) is an increasing function of b, so its maximum corresponds
(1)
to b = bopt → ∞. Again we set bopt = 10. We depicture S (1) = cmax λ(1) as a function of λ(0)

Again, the parameters c(1) and c(2) provide the non-negativity for the density matrix

Unlike the higher order coherences, the zero-order coherence matrix can be perfectly
transferred from the sender to the receiver, i.e. we can set λ(0) = 1 in map (34). It is
likely that this possibility is associated with the classical nature of this coherence. Thus, the
problem of state-restoring at the receiver side reduces to the operations with higher-order

In this section we consider the cases 1-4 of Sec.IV B and perform the optimization of the
creatable regions in the receiver’s state space setting λ(0) = 1. In all considered cases the
creatable region is smaller in comparison with the corresponding cases of Sec.IV B. The brief

V. CONCLUSION
Since the problem of perfect state transfer is related with many difficulties in creating
the communication line, there is a necessity of finding the alternatives to this process. One
of them is discussed in our paper.
We propose a protocol of state-transfer from the sender to the receiver with minimal
state deformation. We reveal the states whose propagation from the sender to the receiver
result in the block-scaling of the density matrix. In our case, these blocks are the MQ-
coherence matrices, however other variants are admittable. Furthermore, for certain states
all higher-order coherence matrices (except the zero-order coherence matrix) are scaled by
the same factor. The block-scaled states are characterized by the three parameters λ(0) , c(1)
and c(2) ) parametrizing, respectively, the zero-, first and second-order coherence matrices.
Admittable values of these parameters provide the non-negativity for the transferred state,
so that they cover a bounded region in the space of these parameters. Assuming that the
quantum information is basically encoded into the higher-order coherence matrices, we study
the creatable region in terms of c(i) , i = 1, 2 at the optimal value of λ(0) . For simplicity, we
consider only real parameters c(1) and c(2) .
We shall remark that, although the quantum effects are most evident at low temperatures
(b → ∞), the optimal values of b in many our examples are finite (see Secs.IV B 3, IV B 4,
IV C). Perhaps, this means that the classical correlations prevail in the corresponding cases.
We also notice that the zero-order coherence matrices of certain sender’s states can be
perfectly transferred to the receiver, while this is impossible for the higher-order coherence
matrix. This effect must be related to the classical nature of this coherence. States having
this property are the least structurally deformed in comparison with other block-scaled
states.
20
We also emphasize that the block-scale transfer is not related to the particular geometry
of a communication line. Splitting the density matrix into the set of MQ-coherence matrices
is prompted by the Hamiltonian preserving the excitation number in the spin system, so
that these matrices do not twist during the evolution. Otherwise evolution will be more
complicated and requires a special consideration.
The found states which can be transferred with the discussed minimal deformation can
be considered as candidates for the elementary state transferring information along a com-
munication line.

A. Jordan-Wigner transformation
First, we recall some basic formulas of the Jordan-Wigner transformation [30, 31]. The
operators In± = Inx ± iIny generate the fermion operators cn and c+
n by the formulas:
j−1 j−1
Y Y
j−1
cj = (−2) Izi Ij− , c+
j = (−2) j−1
Izi Ij+ , (58)
i=1 i=1
{cj , ci } = 0, {c+ + +
j , ci } = 0, {cj , ci } = δij , (59)
therefore Izj = c+ 1
j cj − 2 . We also introduce the operators βn as Fourier transforms of cn :
N 1/2
X 2 πkj
cj = gjk βk , gkj = sin , (60)
k=1
N +1 N +1
and the following evident relations among the operators Iαj and cj :

B. Evolution
Now we consider the evolution of the initial state ρ0 (10) and write it in the following
form convenient for the further analytical calculations:
1 −itH itH bIz r(t) bIz
ρ(t) = e r0 e e = e , r0 = ρ0 e−bIz1 e−bIz2 . (62)
Z Z
For convenience we represent r0 in the basis of matrices 4 × 4:
r0 = ã00 E + ã01 Iz1 + ã02 Iz2 + ã03 Iz1 Iz2 + ã11 I2− + ã12 I2+ + ã13 Iz1 I2− + ã14 Iz1 I2+ + (63)
ã15 I1− I2+ + ã16 I1+ I2− + ã21 I1− + ã22 I1+ + ã23 I1− Iz2 + ã24 I1+ Iz2 + ã31 I1− I2− + ã32 I1+ I2+ ,
22
and the matrix r(t) = e−itH r0 eitH can be given the following form:
