Quantum state transfer within a quantum computer can be achieved by using a network of qubits, and such a network can be modelled mathematically by a graph. Here, we focus on the corresponding Laplacian matrix, and those graphs for which…

Perfect state transfer between qubits on a uniformly coupled network, with interactions specified by a graph, has advantages over an engineered chain, such as much faster transfer times (independent of the distance between the input and…

We study perfect state transfer and multiple state transfer in oriented normal Cayley graphs. We construct examples in a variety of groups, ranging from abelian to nonsolvable, and establish some general restrictions and nonexistence…

Perfect state transfer is significant in quantum communication networks. There are very few graphs having this property. So, it is useful to find some new graphs having perfect state transfer. A good way to construct new graphs is by…

The \textit{transition matrix} of a graph $\Gamma$ with adjacency matrix $A$ is defined by $H(\tau ) := \exp(-\mathbf{i}\tau A)$, where $\tau \in \mathbb{R}$ and $\mathbf{i} = \sqrt{-1}$. The graph $\Gamma$ exhibits \textit{perfect state…

We characterize perfect state transfer on real-weighted graphs of the Johnson scheme $\mathcal{J}(n,k)$. Given $\mathcal{J}(n,k)=\{A_1, A_2, \cdots, A_k\}$ and $A(X) = w_0A_0 + \cdots + w_m A_m$, we show, using classical number theory…

The quantum Perfect State Transfer (PST) is a fundamental tool of quantum communication in a network. It is not easy to achieve in practice. The original idea of PST depends on the fundamentals of the continuous-time quantum walk. A path…
