We show analytically that particle trapping appears in a quantum process called "quantum walk", in which the particle moves macroscopically correlating to the inner states. It has been well known that a particle in the ``Hadamard walk" with…

We consider a discrete time quantum walker in one dimension, where at each step, the step length $\ell$ is chosen from a distribution $P(\ell) \propto \ell^{-\delta -1}$ with $\ell \leq \ell_{max}$. We evaluate the probability $f(x,t)$ that…

The quantum walk differs fundamentally from the classical random walk in a number of ways, including its linear spreading and initial condition dependent asymmetries. Using stationary phase approximations, precise asymptotics have been…
Anderson localization is the ubiquitous phenomenon of inhibition of transport of classical and quantum waves in a disordered medium. In dimension one, it is well known that all states are localized, implying that the distribution of an…
