Abstract

A continuous, sinusoidal control field is used to suitably transform quantum spin chains. In particular, we are able to transform the quantum Ising chain to the quantum XY model, and the XY model to the XYZ spin chain. Our applied control field can also mitigate the effect of noise on the spin chain. We show how these spin chain transformations can be useful for quantum state transfer as well as entanglement generation.
