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…

We study state transfer in quantum walk on graphs relative to the adjacency matrix. Our motivation is to understand how the addition of pendant subgraphs affect state transfer. For two graphs $G$ and $H$, the Frucht-Harary corona product $G…

We study perfect state transfer in Kendon's model of discrete quantum walks. In particular, we give a characterization of perfect state transfer purely in terms of the graph spectra, and construct an infinite family of $4$-regular circulant…

A vertex in a graph is said to be sedentary if a quantum state assigned on that vertex tends to stay on that vertex. Under mild conditions, we show that the direct product and join operations preserve vertex sedentariness. We also…

Let $G$ be a graph with adjacency matrix $A$. The transition matrix of $G$ is denoted by $H(t)$ and it is defined by $H(t):=\exp{\left(itA\right)},\;t\in\mathbb{R}.$ The graph $G$ has perfect state transfer (PST) from a vertex $u$ to…
