We address the properties of continuous-time quantum walks with Hamiltonians of the form $\mathcal{H}= L + \lambda L^2$, being $L$ the Laplacian matrix of the underlying graph and being the perturbation $\lambda L^2$ motivated by its…

Traditional traffic optimization solutions assume that the graph structure of road networks is static, missing opportunities for further traffic flow optimization. We are interested in optimizing traffic flows as a new type of graph-based…

In classical dynamical systems, chaotic behavior is often associated with exponential sensitivity to initial conditions together with global phase-space structure. Translating this geometric concept to the strictly linear framework of…

Adapting a method developed for the study of quantum chaos on {\it quantum (metric)} graphs \cite {KS}, spectral $\zeta$ functions and trace formulae for {\it discrete} Laplacians on graphs are derived. This is achieved by expressing the…

In this work we study the relationship between quantum random walks on graphs and Krylov/spread complexity. We show that the latter's definition naturally emerges through a canonical method of reducing a graph to a chain, on which we can…

It was recently shown how graphs can be used to provide descriptions of psychopathologies, where symptoms of, say, depression, affect each other and certain configurations determine whether someone could fall into a sudden depression. To…

Holographic theories with classical gravity duals are maximally chaotic; i.e., they saturate the universal bound on the rate of growth of chaos. It is interesting to ask whether this property is true only for leading large $N$ correlators…

Quantized, compact graphs were shown to be excellent paradigms for quantum chaos in bounded systems. Connecting them with leads to infinity we show that they display all the features which characterize scattering systems with an underlying…

We study the complexity of a classic problem in computational topology, the homology problem: given a description of some space $X$ and an integer $k$, decide if $X$ contains a $k$-dimensional hole. The setting and statement of the homology…

The out-of-time ordered correlator (OTOC) is a measure of scrambling of quantum information. Scrambling is intuitively considered to be a significant feature of chaotic systems and thus the OTOC is widely used as a measure of chaos. For…
