Title: On Pretty Good State Transfer, Entanglement, and Spin Chains

Speaker: Christopher van Bommel
Affiliation: University of Waterloo
Room: MC 6486

Abstract: 

We discuss the Vieira and Rigolin paper “Almost perfect transport of an entangled two-qubit state through a spin chain”, which considers slight modifications to a spin chain (I.e. path) that allows a maximally entangled two-qubit state to be almost perfectly transferred from one end to the other.
