Abstract
	Josephson junction arrays can behave as a quantum channels and used to transfer quantum information between distant sites [1]. In this work we discuss simple protocols to realize, withouth external control, state transfer and cloning with high fidelity in Josephson chains. The great advantage of these schemes is that they not require complicate gating but they simply use the natural dynamics of a properly designed array. We propose an experiment, realizable with present day technology, that may allow to implement these protocols. Communication is only mildy affected by the presence of unavoidable defects in the Josephson array. [1] Work done in collaboration with C. Bruder and A. Romito
