We consider quantum state transfer relative to the Laplacian matrix of a graph. Let $N(u)$ denote the set of all neighbors of a vertex $u$ in a graph $G$. A pair of vertices $u$ and $v$ are called twin vertices of $G$ provided…

Twin vertices in simple unweighted graphs are vertices that have the same neighbours and, in the case of weighted graphs with possible loops, the corresponding incident edges have equal weights. In this paper, we explore the role of twin…

The adjacency matrix of a graph G is the Hamiltonian for a continuous-time quantum walk on the vertices of G. Although the entries of the adjacency matrix are integers, its eigenvalues are generally irrational and, because of this, the…

Perfect quantum state transfer is achievable in different settings, including linear qubit chains, bi-dimensional arrays, ladders, etc. The most studied case contemplates transferring arbitrary one-qubit pure states in systems with…
