Perfect state transfer on distance-regular graphs and association schemes

Combinatorics 2018-05-23 v1 Quantum Physics

Abstract

We consider the representation of a continuous-time quantum walk in a graph XX by the matrix exp(itA(X))\exp(itA(X)). We provide necessary and sufficient criteria for distance-regular graphs and, more generally, for graphs in association schemes to have perfect state transfer. Using these conditions, we provide several new examples of perfect state transfer in simple graphs.
