Abstract

In this paper we show that all nodes can be found optimally for almost all random Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi G(n,p){\mathcal G}(n,p) graphs using continuous-time quantum spatial search procedure. This works for both adjacency and Laplacian matrices, though under different conditions. The first one requires p=ω(log8(n)/n)p=\omega(\log^8(n)/n), while the seconds requires p(1+ε)log(n)/np\geq(1+\varepsilon)\log (n)/n, where ε>0\varepsilon>0. The proof was made by analyzing the convergence of eigenvectors corresponding to outlying eigenvalues in the \|\cdot\|_\infty norm. At the same time for p<(1ε)log(n)/np<(1-\varepsilon)\log(n)/n, the property does not hold for any matrix, due to the connectivity issues. Hence, our derivation concerning Laplacian matrix is tight.
