Transport properties in directed Quantum Walks on the line

Quantum Physics 2022-08-01 v1

Abstract

We obtained analytical expressions considering a directed continuous-time quantum walk on a directed infinite line using Bessel functions, expanding previous results in the literature, for a general initial condition. We derive the equation for the probability distribution, and show how to recover normal and enhanced decay rates for the survival probability by adjusting the phase factor of the direction of the graph. Our result shows that the mean and standard deviation for a specific non-local initial condition does not depend on the direction.
