We address quantum spatial search on graphs and its implementation by continuous-time quantum walks in the presence of dynamical noise. In particular, we focus on search on the complete graph and on the star graph of order $N$, proving that…
Graph search, the process of visiting vertices in a graph in a specific order, has demonstrated magical powers in many important algorithms. But a systematic study was only initiated by Corneil et al.~a decade ago, and only by then we…

We consider the Grover walk model on a connected finite graph with two infinite length tails and we set an $\ell^\infty$-infinite external source from one of the tails as the initial state. We show that for any connected internal graph, a…
Spatial search is the problem of finding a marked vertex in a graph. A continuous-time quantum walk in the single-excitation subspace of an $n$ spin system solves the problem of spatial search by finding the marked vertex in $O(\sqrt{n})$…
A temporal graph $G$ is a sequence $(G_t)_{t \in I}$ of graphs on the same vertex set of size $n$. The \emph{temporal exploration problem} asks for the length of the shortest sequence of vertices that starts at a given vertex, visits every…
We study the problem of finding the $k$ most similar trajectories to a given query trajectory. Our work is inspired by the work of Grossi et al. [6] that considers trajectories as walks in a graph. Each visited vertex is accompanied by a…
This research paper addresses the stability of search algorithms in complex networks when dealing with incomplete information or uncertainty. We propose a theoretical model to investigate whether a global search algorithm with incomplete…
Searching for an unknown marked vertex on a given graph (also known as spatial search) is an extensively discussed topic in the area of quantum algorithms, with a plethora of results based on different quantum walk models and targeting…
In this paper we present a novel quantum algorithm, namely the quantum grid search algorithm, to solve a special search problem. Suppose $ k $ non-empty buckets are given, such that each bucket contains some marked and some unmarked items.…
In previous papers about searches on star graphs several patterns have been made apparent; the speed up only occurs when graphs are "tuned" so that their time step operators have degenerate eigenvalues, and only certain initial states are…
