# Remote spin control in Haldane spin chains

## TL;DR

This paper demonstrates how local perturbations on one edge of a Haldane spin chain can remotely control the quantum state of fractional spins at the opposite edge, enabling nonlocal quantum manipulation.

## Contribution

It introduces an effective four-level model for remote spin control in Haldane chains and shows how local fields can induce significant edge magnetization changes.

## Key findings

- Local perturbations cause strong edge magnetization responses.
- A Landau-Zener protocol enables adiabatic switching of edge magnetization.
- Remote control of quantum states is achievable via local fields.

## Abstract

We consider the remote manipulation of the quantum state of the edge fractional spins of Haldane spin chains using a weak local perturbation on the other edge. We derive an effective four-level model that correctly captures the response of the local magnetization to local perturbations and we use it to show that applying a small local field on one edge of the chain induces a strong variation of the magnetization on the opposite edge. Using a Landau-Zener protocol, we show how local control of the field on one edge of the chain, implemented for instance with a spin-polarized scanning tunnel microscope tip, can adiabatically switch the magnetization direction on the other side of the chain.
