For any graph $X$ with the adjacency matrix $A$, the transition matrix of the continuous-time quantum walk at time $t$ is given by the matrix-valued function $\mathcal{H}_X(t)=\mathrm{e}^{itA}$. We say that there is perfect state transfer…

Suppose $C$ is a subset of non-zero vectors from the vector space $\mathbb{Z}_2^d$. The cubelike graph $X(C)$ has $\mathbb{Z}_2^d$ as its vertex set, and two elements of $\mathbb{Z}_2^d$ are adjacent if their difference is in $C$. If $M$ is…
