We consider two qubits prepared in a product state and evolved under the magnetic dipolar interaction (MDI). We describe the dependence of the entanglement generated by the MDI with time, with the interaction parameters, and with the system's initial state, identifying the symmetry and coherence aspects of those initial configurations that yield the maximal entanglement. We also show how one can obtain maximum entanglement from the MDI applied to some families of partially entangled initial states.

In Refs. [Phys. Rev. A 96, 062303 (2017)] and [Sci. China Phys. Mech. Astron. 61, 70311 (2018)], the authors reported an algorithm to simulate, in a circuit-based quantum computer, a general quantum channel (QC). However, the application of their algorithm is very limited because it entails the solution of intricate non-linear systems of equations in order to obtain the quantum circuit to be implemented for the simulation. Motivated by this issue, in this article we identify and discuss a simple way to implement the simulation of QCs on any d-level quantum system through quantum state preparation algorithms, that have received much attention in the quantum information science literature lately. We exemplify the versatility of our protocol applying it to most well known qubit QCs, to some qudit QCs, and to simulate the effect of Lorentz transformations on spin states. We also regard the application of our protocol for initial mixed states. Most of the given application examples are verified experimentally using IBM's quantum computers.
