A graph is said to exhibit perfect state transfer (PST) if one of its corresponding Hamiltonian matrices, which are based on the vertex-edge structure of the graph, gives rise to PST in a quantum information-theoretic context, namely with…

Given a graph $G$ with vertex set $V(G)=\{v_1,v_2,\ldots,v_{n_1}\}$ and a graph $H$ of order $n_2$, the vertex complemented corona, denoted by $G\tilde{\circ}{H}$, is the graph produced by copying $H$ $n_1$ times, with the $i$-th copy of…

The join $X\vee Y$ of two graphs $X$ and $Y$ is the graph obtained by joining each vertex of $X$ to each vertex of $Y$. We explore the behaviour of a continuous quantum walk on a weighted join graph having the adjacency matrix or Laplacian…

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…

A discrete-time quantum walk is the quantum analogue of a Markov chain on a graph. Zhan [J. Algebraic Combin. 53(4):1187-1213, 2020] proposes a model of discrete-time quantum walk whose transition matrix is given by two reflections, using…
