For $q\in\mathbb{R}\backslash\{0\}$, the generalized Laplacian of a graph $X$ is the matrix $\mathscr{L}=\Delta+qA$, where $\Delta$ is the degree matrix and $A$ is the adjacency matrix of $X$. In this paper, we investigate perfect state…

The transition matrix of a graph $G$ corresponding to the adjacency matrix $A$ is defined by $H(t):=\exp{\left(-itA\right)},$ where $t\in\mathbb{R}$. The graph is said to exhibit pretty good state transfer between a pair of vertices $u$ and…

An $s$-pair state in a graph is a quantum state of the form $\mathbf{e}_u+s\mathbf{e}_v$, where $u$ and $v$ are vertices in the graph and $s$ is a non-zero complex number. If $s=-1$ (resp., $s=1$), then such a state is called a pair state…

Pure states correspond to one-dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb{C}^n$ represented by unit vectors. In this paper, we develop the theory of perfect state transfer (PST) between real pure states with emphasis on the adjacency and Laplacian…

We discuss pretty good state transfer of multiple qubit states and provide a model for considering state transfer of arbitrary states on unmodulated XX-type spin chains. We then provide families of paths and initial states for which we can…

We study a continous-time quantum walk on a path graph. In this paper, we show that, for any odd prime $p$ and positive integer $t$, the path on $2^t p - 1$ vertices admits pretty good state transfer between vertices $a$ and $n+1-a$ for…

Let A be the adjacency matrix of a graph $X$ and suppose U(t)=exp(itA). We view A as acting on $\cx^{V(X)}$ and take the standard basis of this space to be the vectors $e_u$ for $u$ in $V(X)$. Physicists say that we have perfect state…

Perfect state transfer is significant in quantum communication networks. There are very few graphs having this property. So, it is useful to find some new graphs having perfect state transfer. A good way to construct new graphs is by…

We construct infinite families of graphs in which pretty good state transfer can be induced by adding a potential to the nodes of the graph (i.e. adding a number to a diagonal entry of the adjacency matrix). Indeed, we show that given any…

Twin vertices in simple unweighted graphs are vertices that have the same neighbours and, in the case of weighted graphs with possible loops, the corresponding incident edges have equal weights. In this paper, we explore the role of twin…

Quantum state transfer within a quantum computer can be achieved by using a network of qubits, and such a network can be modelled mathematically by a graph. Here, we focus on the corresponding Laplacian matrix, and those graphs for which…

We study perfect state transfer of quantum walks on signed graphs. Our aim is to show that negative edges are useful for perfect state transfer. Specific results we prove include: (1) The signed join of a negative 2-clique with any positive…

Pretty good state transfer in networks of qubits occurs when a continuous-time quantum walk allows the transmission of a qubit state from one node of the network to another, with fidelity arbitrarily close to 1. We prove that in a…
