We study perfect state transfer in Grover walks on two important classes of graphs: strongly regular graphs and strongly walk-regular graphs. The latter class is a generalization of the former. We first give a complete classification of…

We propose a scheme for perfect transfer of an unknown qubit state via the discrete-time quantum walk on a line or a circle. For this purpose, we introduce an additional coin operator which is applied at the end of the walk. This operator…

We consider graphs with two cut vertices joined by a path with one or two edges, and prove that there can be no quantum perfect state transfer between these vertices, unless the graph has no other vertex. We achieve this result by applying…

We study the state transfer through quantum walks placed on a bounded one-dimensional path. We first consider continuous-time quantum walks from a Gaussian state. We find such a state when superposing centered on the starting and antipodal…

We prove new results on perfect state transfer of quantum walks on quotient graphs. Since a graph $G$ has perfect state transfer if and only if its quotient $G/\pi$, under any equitable partition $\pi$, has perfect state transfer, we…

We discuss a particular kind of quantum walk on a general graph. We affix two semi-infinite lines to a general finite graph, which we call tails. On the tails, the particle making the walk simply advances one unit at each time step, so that…

For any graph $X$ with the adjacency matrix $A$, the transition matrix of the continuous-time quantum walk at time $t$ is given by the matrix-valued function $\mathcal{H}_X(t)=\mathrm{e}^{itA}$. We say that there is perfect state transfer…
