The $\mathcal{Q}$-graph of a graph $G$, denoted by $\mathcal{Q}(G)$, is the graph derived from $G$ by plugging a new vertex to each edge of $G$ and adding a new edge between two new vertices which lie on adjacent edges of $G$. In this…
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…
A discrete-time quantum walk is the quantum analogue of a Markov chain on a graph. Zhan [J. Algebraic Combin. 53(4):1187-1213, 2020] proposes a model of discrete-time quantum walk whose transition matrix is given by two reflections, using…
