Dukes (2014) and Konno, Shimizu, and Takei (2017) studied the periodicity for 2-state quantum walks whose coin operator is the Hadamard matrix on cycle graph C_N with N vertices. The present paper treats the periodicity for 3-state quantum…
This paper explains the periodicity of the Grover walk on finite graphs. We characterize the graphs to induce 2, 3, 4, 5-periodic Grover walk and obtain a necessary condition of the graphs to induce an odd-periodic Grover walk.
A necessary and sufficient conditions for certain class of periodic unitary transition operators to have eigenvalues are given. Applying this, it is shown that Grover walks in any dimension has both of $\pm 1$ as eigenvalues and it has no…

Hitting times are the average time it takes a walk to reach a given final vertex from a given starting vertex. The hitting time for a classical random walk on a connected graph will always be finite. We show that, by contrast, quantum walks…
Characterizations graphs of some classes to induce periodic Grover walks have been studied for recent years. In particular, for the strongly regular graphs, it has been known that there are only three kinds of such graphs. Here, we focus on…
There are presently two models for quantum walks on graphs. The "coined" walk uses discrete time steps, and contains, besides the particle making the walk, a second quantum system, the coin, that determines the direction in which the…
In this paper we extend the study of three state lively quantum walks on cycles by considering the coin operator as a linear sum of permutation matrices, which is a generalization of the Grover matrix. First we provide a complete…
A discrete-time quantum walk on a graph is the repeated application of a unitary evolution operator to a Hilbert space corresponding to the graph. Hitting times for discrete quantum walks on graphs give an average time before the walk…

A discrete-time quantum walk on a graph is the repeated application of a unitary evolution operator to a Hilbert space corresponding to the graph. If this unitary evolution operator has an associated group of symmetries, then for certain…
In this paper we study a class of discrete quantum walks, known as bipartite walks. These include the well-known Grover's walks. Any discrete quantum walk is given by the powers of a unitary matrix $U$ indexed by arcs or edges of the…
The interest of this paper is a characterization of graphs that induce periodic Grover walks with given periods. In previous studies, Yoshie has shown that the only graphs that induce odd periodic Grover walks are cycle graphs. However,…
A continuous-time quantum walk on a dynamic graph evolves by Schr\"odinger's equation with a sequence of Hamiltonians encoding the edges of the graph. This process is universal for quantum computing, but in general, the dynamic graph that…
We consider a discrete-time quantum walk, called the Grover walk, on a distance regular graph $X$. Given that $X$ has diameter $d$ and invertible adjacency matrix, we show that the square of the transition matrix of the Grover walk on $X$…
The unitary Cayley graph has vertex set $\{0,1, \hdots ,n-1\}$, where two vertices $u$ and $v$ are adjacent if $\gcd(u - v, n) = 1$. In this paper, we study periodicity and perfect state transfer of Grover walks on the unitary Cayley…
