  In this work, we describe a possible experimental realization of Bose's idea
to use spin chains for short distance quantum communication [S. Bose, {\it
Phys. Rev. Lett.} {\bf 91} 207901]. Josephson arrays have been proposed and
analyzed as transmission channels for systems of superconducting charge qubits.
Here, we consider a chain of persistent current qubits, that is appropriate for
state transfer with high fidelity in systems containing flux qubits. We
calculate the fidelity of state transfer for this system. In general, the
Hamiltonian of this system is not of XXZ-type, and we analyze the magnitude and
the effect of the terms that don't conserve the z-component of the total spin.
