Quantum walks on graphs are fundamental to quantum computing and have led to many interesting open problems in algebraic graph theory. This review article highlights three key …
The adjacency matrix of a graph is the Hamiltonian for a continuous-time quantum walk on the vertices of. Although the entries of the adjacency matrix are integers, its eigenvalues are …

Two vertices a and b in a graph X are cospectral if the vertex-deleted subgraphs X\a and X\b have the same characteristic polynomial. In this paper we investigate a strengthening of this …

The (standard) average mixing matrix of a continuous-time quantum walk is computed by taking the expected value of the mixing matrices of the walk under the uniform sampling …
The continuous-time quantum walk is a particle evolving by Schrödinger's equation in discrete space. Encoding the space as a graph of vertices and edges, the Hamiltonian is …

We study the diagonal entries of the average mixing matrix of continuous quantum walks. The average mixing matrix is a graph invariant; it is the sum of the Schur squares of spectral …

We study the average probability that a discrete-time quantum walk finds a marked vertex on a graph. We first show that, for a regular graph, the spectrum of the transition matrix is …
We investigate the rank of the average mixing matrix of trees, with all eigenvalues distinct. The rank of the average mixing matrix of a tree on $ n $ vertices with $ n $ distinct …
