Transient temperature and mixing times of quantum walks on cycles

Quantum Physics 2016-08-05 v1

Abstract

The definition of entanglement temperature for the quantum walk on the line is extended to NN-cycles, which are more amenable to a physical implementation. We show that, for these systems, there is a linear connection between the thermalization time and the mixing time, and also that these characteristic times become insensitive to the system size when NN is larger than a few units
