The mean squared displacement has been widely used as the primary metric for comparing quantum and classical random walks, with quantum walks showing quadratic scaling versus linear scaling for classical walks. However, this comparison may…
A study of persistence dynamics is made for the first time in a quantum system by considering the dynamics of a quantum random walk. For a discrete walk on a line starting at $x=0$ at time $t=0$, the persistence probability $P(x,t)$ that a…

We investigated discrete-time quantum walks with an arbitary unitary coin. Here we discover that the average position $<x> =\max(<x> \sin(\alpha+\gamma)$, while the initial state is $1/\sqrt{2}(\mid0L>+i\mid0R>)$. We prove the result and…
The first-passage time is proposed as an independent thermodynamic parameter of the statistical distribution that generalizes the Gibbs distribution. The theory does not include the determination of the first passage statistics itself. A…
In this paper, we study discrete-time quantum walks on one-dimensional lattices. We find that the coherent dynamics depends on the initial states and coin parameters. For infinite size of lattice, we derive an explicit expression for the…
We consider a simple random walk on the T-fractal and we calculate the exact mean time $\tau^g$ to first reach the central node $i_0$. The mean is performed over the set of possible walks from a given origin and over the set of starting…
Quantum walk is one of the main tools for quantum algorithms. Defined by analogy to classical random walk, a quantum walk is a time-homogeneous quantum process on a graph. Both random and quantum walks can be defined either in continuous or…
We study the statistics of first passage times (FPTs) of trajectory observables in both classical and quantum Markov processes. We consider specifically the FPTs of counting observables, that is, the times to reach a certain threshold of a…
