We investigate the role of a time and spin-dependent phase shift on the evolution of one-dimensional discrete-time quantum walks. By employing Floquet engineering, a time and spin-dependent phase shift ($\phi$) is imprinted onto the…
We consider a two-state quantum walk on a line where after the first step an absorbing sink is placed at the origin. The probability of finding the walker at position $j$, conditioned on that it has not returned to the origin, is…

We introduce and analyze a one-dimensional quantum walk with two time-independent rotations on the coin. We study the influence on the property of quantum walk due to the second rotation on the coin. Based on the asymptotic solution in the…
The symmetric random walk is known to be recurrent in one and two dimensions, and becomes transient in three or higher dimensions. We compare the symmetric random walk to walks driven by certain \polya\ urns. We show that, in contrast, if…
