This paper studies uniform mixing in continuous-time quantum walks. We show that for some unitary signing $\sigma$, the complete graph $K^\sigma_n$ has probabilistic uniform mixing. In contrast, Ahmadi \etal (2003) proved that no complete…
We show that deciding whether a graph admits perfect state transfer can be done in polynomial time with respect to the size of the graph on a classical computer.
Quantum walks play an important role in the area of quantum algorithms. Many interesting problems can be reduced to searching marked states in a quantum Markov chain. In this context, the notion of quantum hitting time is very important,…
We present a generalized definition of discrete-time quantum walks convenient for capturing a rather broad spectrum of walker's behavior on arbitrary graphs. It includes and covers both: the geometry of possible walker's positions with…
We formulate three current models of discrete-time quantum walks in a combinatorial way. These walks are shown to be closely related to rotation systems and 1-factorizations of graphs. For two of the models, we compute the traces and total…
Quantum versions of random walks on the line and the cycle show a quadratic improvement over classical random walks in their spreading rates and mixing times respectively. Non-unitary quantum walks can provide a useful optimisation of these…
