Perturbatively-perfect many-body transfer

The coherent transfer of excitations between different locations of a quantum many-body system is of primary importance in many research areas, from transport properties in spintronics and atomtronics to quantum state transfer in quantum information processing. We address the transfer of $n>1$ bosonic and fermionic excitations between the edges of a one-dimensional chain modeled by a quadratic hopping Hamiltonian, where the block edges, embodying the sender and the receiver sites, are weakly coupled to the quantum wire. We find that perturbatively perfect coherent transfer is attainable in the weak-coupling limit, for both bosons and fermions, only for certain modular arithmetic equivalence classes of the wire's length. Finally we apply our findings to the transport of spins and the charging of a many-body quantum battery.
