Quantum Information and Cryptography

Experiments in coherent spectroscopy correspond to control of quantum mechanical ensembles guiding them from initial to final target states by unitary transformations. The control inputs (pulse sequences) that accomplish these unitary transformations should take as little time as possible so as to minimize the effects of relaxation and to optimize the sensitivity of the experiments. Here, we present a novel approach for efficient control of dynamics in spin chains of arbitrary length. The approach relies on creating certain three spin encoded states, which can be efficiently transferred through a spin chain. The methods presented are expected to find applications in control of spin dynamics in coherent spectroscopy and quantum information processing.
