“…We should also mention important contributions on the usefulness of chains of continuous variable systems in transmitting quantum states [8,9,10,17,33]. Most of the aforementioned works studied strictly one dimensional chains with open or periodic boundary conditions and extensive investigations on the performance of those systems in the presence of disorder and noise can be found in [5,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50].…”
