Abstract

The \textit{transition matrix} of a graph Γ\Gamma with adjacency matrix AA is defined by H(τ):=exp(iτA)H(\tau ) := \exp(-\mathbf{i}\tau A), where τR\tau \in \mathbb{R} and i=1\mathbf{i} = \sqrt{-1}. The graph Γ\Gamma exhibits \textit{perfect state transfer} (PST) between the vertices uu and vv if there exists τ0(>0)R\tau_0(>0)\in \mathbb{R} such that H(τ0)uv=1\lvert H(\tau_0)_{uv} \rvert = 1. For a positive integer nn, the group V8nV_{8n} is defined as V8n:=a,b ⁣:a2n=b4=1,ba=a1b1,b1a=a1bV_{8n} := \langle a,b \colon a^{2n} = b^{4} = 1, ba = a^{-1}b^{-1}, b^{-1}a = a^{-1}b \rangle. In this paper, we study the existence of perfect state transfer on Cayley graphs Cay(V8n,S)\text{Cay}(V_{8n}, S). We present some necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of perfect state transfer on Cay(V8n,S)\text{Cay}(V_{8n}, S).
