Some popular mechanisms for restricting the diffusion of waves include introducing disorder (to provoke Anderson localization) and engineering topologically non-trivial phases (to allow for topological edge states to form). However, other…
Quantum walks exhibit many unique characteristics compared to classical random walks. In the classical setting, self-avoiding random walks have been studied as a variation on the usual classical random walk. Classical self-avoiding random…
A quantum particle evolving by Schr\"odinger's equation contains, from the kinetic energy of the particle, a term in its Hamiltonian proportional to Laplace's operator. In discrete space, this is replaced by the discrete or graph Laplacian,…
We analyze the properties of a two and three dimensional quantum walk that are inspired by the idea of a brane-world model put forward by Rubakov and Shaposhnikov [1]. In that model, particles are dynamically confined on the brane due to…

We study a one-dimensional quasiperiodic system described by the Aubry-Andr\'e model in the small wave vector limit and demonstrate the existence of almost mobility edges and critical regions in the system. It is well known that the…
We examine an unexplored quantum phenomenon we call oscillatory localization, where a discrete-time quantum walk with Grover's diffusion coin jumps back and forth between two vertices. We then connect it to the power dissipation of a…
Quantum random walks are the quantum counterpart of classical random walks, and were recently studied in the context of quantum computation. A quantum random walker is subject to self interference, leading to a remarkably different behavior…
We introduce a model of quantum walkers interacting with a magnetic impurity localized at the origin. First, we study a model of a single quantum walker interacting with a localized magnetic impurity. For a simple case of parameter values,…
Continuous-time quantum walks (CTQWs) exhibit localization phenomena that differ fundamentally from their classical counterparts, yet the precise relationship between network structure, spectral degeneracy, and confined dynamics remains…
Quantum walks subject to decoherence generically suffer the loss of their genuine quantum feature, a quadratically faster spreading compared to classical random walks. This intuitive statement has been verified analytically for certain…
The quantum walk is a quantum counterpart of the classical random walk that exhibits nonclassical behaviors and outperforms the classical random walk in various aspects. It has been known that a single particle can be propagated by a…
We develop a theoretical scheme to perform a read-out of the properties of a quasi-periodic system by coupling it to one or two qubits. We show that the decoherence dynamics of a single qubit coupled via a pure dephasing type term to a 1D…
We investigate the effect of spatial disorder on the edge states localized at the interface between two topologically different regions. Rotation disorder can localize the quantum walk if it is strong enough to change the topology,…
