A new family of discrete-time quantum walks (DTQWs) propagating on a regular $(1+2)$D spacetime lattice is introduced. The continuous limit of these DTQWs is shown to coincide with the dynamics of a Dirac fermion interacting with an…

A quantum random walk model is established on a one-dimensional periodic lattice that fluctuates between two possible states. This model is defined by Lindblad rate equations that incorporate the transition rates between the two lattice…

We show that a large class of 2-adic Schr\"odinger equations is the scaling limit of certain continuous-time quantum Markov chains (CTQMCs). Practically, a discretization of such an equation gives a CTQMC. As a practical result, we…

We study discrete-time quantum walks on a half line by means of spectral analysis. Cantero et al. [1] showed that the CMV matrix, which gives a recurrence relation for the orthogonal Laurent polynomials on the unit circle [2], expresses the…

Recent work has demonstrated that discrete quantum walks, when extended to quantum cellular automata (QCA), can, in the continuum limit, reproduce relativistic wave equations and quantum field theories (QFTs), including free quantum…

Lackadaisical quantum walk (LQW) is a quantum analog of a classical lazy walk, where each vertex has a self-loop of weight $l$. For a regular $\sqrt{N}\times\sqrt{N}$ 2D grid LQW can find a single marked vertex with $O(1)$ probability in…

We investigate the long-time behavior of a nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard equation in a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ $(d\in\{2,3\})$, subject to a kinetic rate-dependent nonlocal dynamic boundary condition. The kinetic rate $1/L$,…
