Uniform Mixing on Cayley Graphs

Combinatorics 2017-07-12 v3

Abstract

We provide new examples of Cayley graphs on which the quantum walks reach uniform mixing. Our first result is a complete characterization of all 2(d+2)2(d+2)-regular Cayley graphs over Z3d\mathbb{Z}_3^d that admit uniform mixing at time 2π/92\pi/9. Our second result shows that for every integer k3k\ge 3, we can construct Cayley graphs over Zqd\mathbb{Z}_q^d that admit uniform mixing at time 2π/qk2\pi/q^k, where q=3,4q=3, 4. We also find the first family of irregular graphs, the Cartesian powers of the star K1,3K_{1,3}, that admit uniform mixing.
