Abstract

The quantum Perfect State Transfer (PST) is a fundamental tool of quantum communication in a network. It is not easy to achieve in practice. The original idea of PST depends on the fundamentals of the continuous-time quantum walk. A path graph with at most three vertices allows PST based on continuous-time quantum walk. Based on the Markovian quantum walk, we introduce a significantly powerful method for PST in this article. We establish PST between the extreme vertices of a path graph of arbitrary length. Moreover, any pair of symmetric vertices in a path graph allows PST under Markovian quantum walks. We extend our investigations for the cycle graphs. The cycle graphs with more than 44 vertices do not allow the PST based on the continuous-time quantum walk. In contrast, a cycle graph with 2m2m vertices exhibits PST based on Markovian quantum walk between the vertices jj and j+mj + m for j=0,1,(m1)j = 0, 1, \dots (m - 1), where m>0m > 0 is an integer.
