Efficient and perfect state transfer in quantum chains

We present a communication protocol for chains of permanently coupled qubits which achieves perfect quantum state transfer and which is efficient with respect to the number of chains employed in the scheme. The system consists of M uncoupled identical quantum chains. Local control (gates, measurements) is only allowed at the sending/receiving end of the chains. Under a quite general hypothesis on the interaction Hamiltonian of the qubits, a theorem is proved which shows that the receiver is able to asymptotically recover the messages by repetitive monitoring of his qubits.
