• Abstract: Efficient communication between distant qubits is one of the central challenges in scaling quantum processors. Although engineered spin chain protocols have been extensively investigated theoretically, their experimental realization has remained comparatively limited. Here, we experimentally realize engineered quantum communication protocols through digitally simulated spin Hamiltonian on IonQ's Forte 1/ Forte Enterprise 1 trapped-ion quantum processor. Combining exact numerical simulations with quantum hardware experiments, we benchmark uniform nearest-neighbour and engineered coupling profiles and demonstrate that engineered interactions significantly enhance the fidelity of quantum state transfer. We further show that exploiting the commutation structure of the spin Hamiltonian enables a parallel Trotter decomposition that more faithfully reproduces the target dynamics while substantially reducing the circuit depth and execution time compared to the conventional sequential implementations. Our results demonstrate that programmable quantum processors can effectively realize and efficiently implement quantum communication protocols, bringing Hamiltonian-based quantum communication closer to practical quantum technologies.
