Quantum walks: a comprehensive review

SE Venegas-Andraca - Quantum Information Processing, 2012 - Springer
Quantum walks, the quantum mechanical counterpart of classical random walks, is an
advanced tool for building quantum algorithms that has been recently shown to constitute a …

From discrete time quantum walk to continuous time quantum walk in limit distribution

Y Shikano - Journal of Computational and Theoretical …, 2013 - ingentaconnect.com
The discrete time quantum walk defined as a quantum-mechanical analogue of the discrete
time random walk have recently been attracted from various and interdisciplinary fields. In …

Topological phases and delocalization of quantum walks in random environments

H Obuse, N Kawakami - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials …, 2011 - APS
We investigate one-dimensional (1D) discrete-time quantum walks (QWs) with spatially or
temporally random defects as a consequence of interactions with random environments. We …

Localization and fractality in inhomogeneous quantum walks with self-duality

Y Shikano, H Katsura - Physical Review E—Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft …, 2010 - APS
We introduce and study a class of discrete-time quantum walks on a one-dimensional lattice.
In contrast to the standard homogeneous quantum walks, coin operators are …

Dynamical localization of quantum walks in random environments

A Joye, M Merkli - Journal of Statistical Physics, 2010 - Springer
The dynamics of a one dimensional quantum walker on the lattice with two internal degrees
of freedom, the coin states, is considered. The discrete time unitary dynamics is determined …

Disordered quantum walks in one lattice dimension

A Ahlbrecht, VB Scholz, AH Werner - Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2011 - pubs.aip.org
We study a spin-| $\frac {1}{2} $| 1 2-particle moving on a one-dimensional lattice subject to
disorder induced by a random, space-dependent quantum coin. The discrete time evolution …

Limit measures of inhomogeneous discrete-time quantum walks in one dimension

N Konno, T Łuczak, E Segawa - Quantum information processing, 2013 - Springer
We treat three types of measures of the quantum walk (QW) with the spatial perturbation at
the origin, which was introduced by Konno (Quantum Inf Proc 9: 405, 2010): time averaged …

Generator of an abstract quantum walk

E Segawa, A Suzuki - Quantum Studies: Mathematics and Foundations, 2016 - Springer
We give an explicit formula of the generator of an abstract Szegedy evolution operator in
terms of the discriminant operator of the evolution. We also characterize the asymptotic …

Dynamical localization for d-dimensional random quantum walks

A Joye - Quantum Information Processing, 2012 - Springer
We consider ad-dimensional random quantum walk with site-dependent random coin
operators. The corresponding transition coefficients are characterized by deterministic …
