Here we consider a spin chain system with alternating strength couplings and containing three defects, that impose three domain walls between topologically distinct regions of the chain. We show that -- in addition to its useful, high fidelity, quantum state transfer properties -- an entangling protocol can be implemented in this system, with optional localisation and storage of the entangled states. We demonstrate both numerically and analytically that, given a suitable initial product-state injection, the natural dynamics of the system produces a maximally entangled state at a given time. We present detailed investigations of the effects of fabrication errors, analyzing random static disorder both in the diagonal and off-diagonal terms of the system Hamiltonian. Our results show that the entangled state formation is very robust against perturbations of up to $\\sim10\\%$ the weaker chain coupling, and also robust against timing injection errors. We propose a further protocol which manipulates the chain in order to localise and store each of the entangled qubits. The engineering of a system with such characteristics would thus provide a useful device for quantum information processing tasks involving the creation and storage of entangled resources.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1612.05097v2","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1612.05097v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"robust-quantum-entanglement-generation-and","repo_url":"https://github.com/estaremp/spinchain","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
