For a continuous-time quantum walk on a line the variance of the position observable grows quadratically in time, whereas, for its classical counterpart on the same graph, it exhibits a linear, diffusive, behaviour. A quantum walk, thus,…

We consider a position-dependent coined quantum walk on $\mathbb{Z}$ and assume that the coin operator $C(x)$ satisfies \[ \|C(x) - C_0 \| \leq c_1|x|^{-1-\epsilon}, \quad x \in \mathbb{Z} \] with positive $c_1$ and $\epsilon$ and $C_0 \in…

Quantum walks function as essential means to implement quantum simulators, allowing one to study complex and often directly inaccessible quantum processes in controllable systems. In this contribution, the notion of a driven Gaussian…

We show that quantum walks interpolate between a coherent `wave walk' and a random walk depending on how strongly the walker's coin state is measured; i.e., the quantum walk exhibits the quintessentially quantum property of complementarity,…

For a quantum walk on a graph, there exist many kinds of operators for the discrete-time evolution. We give a general relation between the characteristic polynomial of the evolution matrix of a quantum walk on edges and that of a kind of…

The behaviour of random quantum walks is known to be diffusive. Here we study discrete time quantum walks in weak stochastic gauge fields. In the case of position and spin dependent gauge field, we observe a transition from ballistic to…

Coin and scattering are the two major formulations for discrete quantum walks models, each believed to have its own advantages in different applications. Although they are related in some cases, it was an open question their equivalence in…
