Abstract

We discuss the possibility of engineering a Hamiltonian that can perfectly mirror a state of many excitations stored on a square lattice. In comparison to the well-studied case of a chain, there is potential for a speed-up of information transfer. However, we prove that in a large class of cases, perfect state mirroring on a square lattice is impossible.
