We developed a new quantum Hamiltonian for signal amplification, enabling single spin measurement via macroscopic observables. This method unifies approaches and improves state transfer, even with decoherence.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Quantum information science
  • Spin physics

Background:

  • Measuring single quantum states is challenging.
  • Existing amplification schemes have limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Introduce a novel Hamiltonian for quantum state amplification.
  • Enable macroscopic measurement of single spin states.
  • Unify existing amplification strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a new quantum Hamiltonian.
  • Proved a general mapping to an exchange Hamiltonian.
  • Established a link to classical cellular automata.
  • Analyzed state transfer with non-conserved total spin.

Main Results:
