  We study the information transferring ability of a spin-1/2 XXZ Hamiltonian
for two different modes of state transfer, namely, the well studied attaching
scenario and the recently proposed measurement induced transport. The latter
one has been inspired by recent achievements in optical lattice experiments for
local addressability of individual atoms and their time evolution when only
local rotations and measurements are available and local control of the
Hamiltonian is very limited. We show that while measurement induced transport
gives higher fidelity for quantum state transfer around the isotropic
Heisenberg point, its superiority is less pronounced in non-interacting free
fermionic XX phase. Moreover, we study the quality of state transfer in the
presence of thermal fluctuations and environmental interactions and show that
measurement scheme gives higher fidelity for low temperatures and weak
interaction with environment.
