We introduce the concept of group state transfer on graphs, summarize its relationship to other concepts in the theory of quantum walks, set up a basic theory, and discuss examples. Let $X$ be a graph with adjacency matrix $A$ and consider…

We study the class of edge-coloured graphs arising from the graph-theoretic representation of quantum photonic experiments that generate multipartite W-states. Abstracting away physical amplitudes and phases, we introduce W-state graphs:…
Let $G$ be an arbitrary group. We define a gain-line graph for a gain graph $(\Gamma,\psi)$ through the choice of an incidence $G$-phase matrix inducing $\psi$. We prove that the switching equivalence class of the gain function on the line…
In this paper we generalise the notion of visibility from a point in an integer lattice to the setting of graph theory. For a vertex $x$ of a connected graph $G$, we say that a set $S \subseteq V(G)$ is an \emph{$x$-position set} if for any…
We give sufficient conditions for stability of a continuous-time linear switched system consisting of finitely many subsystems. The switching between subsystems is governed by an underlying graph. The results are applicable to switched…
We propose a scheme for efficient construction of graph states using realistic linear optics, imperfect photon source and single-photon detectors. For any many-body entanglement represented by tree graph states, we prove that the overall…
Non-symmetric GHZ states ($n$-GHZ$_\alpha$), defined by unequal superpositions of $|00...0>$ and $|11...1>$, naturally emerge in experiments due to decoherence, control errors, and state preparation imperfections. Despite their relevance in…
Suppose $X$ is a simple graph. The $X-$join $\Gamma$ of a set of complete or empty graphs $\{X_x \}_{x \in V(X)}$ is a simple graph with the following vertex and edge sets: \begin{eqnarray*} V(\Gamma) &=& \{(x,y) \ | \ x \in V(X) \ \& \ y…
Real-world graphs can be difficult to interpret and visualize beyond a certain size. To address this issue, graph summarization aims to simplify and shrink a graph, while maintaining its high-level structure and characteristics. Most…
Quantum hypergraph states extend the well-studied class of graph states by taking into account multi-qubit interactions through hyperedges. They provide a powerful framework to represent a family of quantum states with genuine multipartite…
Ionicioiu and Spiller [Phys. Rev. A 85, 062313 (2012)] have recently presented an axiomatic framework for mapping graphs to quantum states of a suitable physical system. Based on their study, we first extend the axiomatic framework to…
Functional graphs (FGs) model the graph structures used to analyse the behaviour of functions from a discrete set to itself. In turn, such functions are used to study real complex phenomena evolving in time. As the systems involved can be…
Local sets, a graph structure invariant under local complementation, have been originally introduced in the context of quantum computing for the study of quantum entanglement within the so-called graph state formalism. A local set in a…

There is recent evidence that the $XY$ spin model on complex networks can display three different macroscopic states in response to the topology of the network underpinning the interactions of the spins. In this work, we present a novel way…
The growing complexity of modern Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and the frequent communication between their components make them vulnerable to malicious attacks. As a result, secure state estimation is a critical requirement for the control…
