We compare discrete-time quantum walks on graphs to their natural classical equivalents, which we argue are lifted Markov chains, that is, classical Markov chains with added memory. We show that these can simulate quantum walks, allowing us…

We consider the role of network geometry in two types of diffusion processes: transport of constant-density information packets with queuing on nodes, and constant voltage-driven tunneling of electrons. The underlying network is a…

We introduce and study peak state transfer, a notion of high state transfer in qubit networks modeled by continuous-time quantum walks. Unlike perfect or pretty good state transfer, peak state transfer does not require fidelity arbitrarily…

We address continuous-time quantum walks on graphs in the presence of time- and space-dependent noise. Noise is modeled as generalized dynamical percolation, i.e. classical time-dependent fluctuations affecting the tunneling amplitudes of…

I introduce a new type of continuous-time quantum walk on graphs called the quantum snake walk, the basis states of which are fixed-length paths (snakes) in the underlying graph. First I analyze the quantum snake walk on the line, and I…

Quantum walks have frequently envisioned the behavior of a quantum state traversing a classically defined, generally finite, graph structure. While this approach has already generated significant results, it imposes a strong assumption: all…

A simple random walk on a graph is a sequence of movements from one vertex to another where at each step an edge is chosen uniformly at random from the set of edges incident on the current vertex, and then transitioned to next vertex.…

We investigate novel transport properties of chiral continuous-time quantum walks (CTQWs) on graphs. By employing a gauge transformation, we demonstrate that CTQWs on chiral chains are equivalent to those on non-chiral chains, but with…
