We advance the previous studies of quantum walks on the line with two coins. Such four-state quantum walks driven by a three-direction shift operator may have nonzero stationary distributions (localization), thus distinguishing themselves…
In this paper we investigate one dimensional quantum walks with two-step memory, which can be viewed as an extension of quantum walks with one-step memory. We develop a general formula for the amplitudes of the two-step-memory walk with…
Random walks describe diffusion processes, where movement at every time step is restricted to only the neighbouring locations. We construct a quantum random walk algorithm, based on discretisation of the Dirac evolution operator inspired by…
By adding an extra Hilbert space to Hadamard Quantum Walk on Cycles (QWC), we presented a new type of QWCs called M\"obius Quantum Walk (MQW). The new space configuration enables the particle to rotate around the axis of movement. We…
The properties of the coinless quantum walk model have not been as thoroughly analyzed as those of the coined model. Both evolve in discrete time steps but the former uses a smaller Hilbert space, which is spanned merely by the site basis.…
Exploiting the coherent medium approximation, random walk among sites distributed randomly in space is investigated when the jump rate depends on the distance between two adjacent sites. In one dimension, it is shown that when the jump rate…
We investigate the quantum walk on the line when decoherences are introduced either through simultaneous measurements of the chirality and particle position, or as a result of broken links. Both mechanisms drive the system to a classical…
The myopic (or `true') self-avoiding walk model (MSAW) was introduced in the physics literature by Amit, Parisi and Peliti (1983). It is a random motion in Z^d pushed towards domains less visited in the past by a kind of negative gradient…
In this paper, we consider Szegedy's walk, a type of discrete time quantum walk, and corresponding continuous time quantum walk related to the birth and death chain. We show that the scaling limit of time averaged distribution for the…
In this paper, we study the discrete-time quantum random walks on a line subject to decoherence. The convergence of the rescaled position probability distribution $p(x,t)$ depends mainly on the spectrum of the superoperator…
A quantum walker moves on the integers with four extra degrees of freedom, performing a coin-shift operation to alter its internal state and position at discrete units of time. The time evolution is described by a unitary process. We focus…
We investigate a space-inhomogeneous discrete-time quantum walk in one dimension. We show that the walk exhibits localization by a path counting method.
Quantum walk (QW) is the quantum analog of the random walk. QW is an integral part of the development of numerous quantum algorithms. Hence, an in-depth understanding of QW helps us to grasp the quantum algorithms. We revisit the…
We propose a scheme to implement the one-dimensional coined quantum walk with electrons transported through a two-dimensional network of spintronic semiconductor quantum rings. The coin degree of freedom is represented by the spin of the…
We consider one-dimensional discrete-time random walks (RWs) of $n$ steps, starting from $x_0=0$, with arbitrary symmetric and continuous jump distributions $f(\eta)$, including the important case of L\'evy flights. We study the statistics…
The effect of unitary noise on the discrete one-dimensional quantum walk is studied using computer simulations. For the noiseless quantum walk, starting at the origin (n=0) at time t=0, the position distribution Pt(n) at time t is very…
Random walks of n steps taken into independent uniformly random directions in a d-dimensional Euclidean space (d larger than 1), are named Dirichlet when their step lengths are distributed according to a Dirichlet law. The latter continuous…
In this paper we focus our attention on a particle that follows a unidirectional quantum walk, an alternative version of the nowadays widespread discrete-time quantum walk on a line. Here the walker at each time step can either remain in…
Concerning a discrete-time quantum walk X^{(d)}_t with a symmetric distribution on the line, whose evolution is described by the Hadamard transformation, it was proved by the author that the following weak limit theorem holds: X^{(d)}_t /t…
A two-dimensional discrete-time quantum walk (DTQW) can be realized by alternating a two-state DTQW in one spatial dimension followed by an evolution in the other dimension. This was shown to reproduce a probability distribution for a…
