We present analytical treatment of quantum walks on multidimensional hyper-cycle graphs. We derive the analytical expression of the probability distribution for strong and weak decoherence regimes. Upper bound to mixing time is obtained.

We give a simple recipe for translating walks on Cayley graphs of a group G into a quantum operation on any irrep of G. Most properties of the classical walk carry over to the quantum operation: degree becomes the number of Kraus operators,…

The quadratic unitary Cayley graph $\mathcal{G}_{\mathbb{Z}_n}$ has vertex set $\mathbb{Z}_n: =\{0,1, \ldots ,n-1\}$, where two vertices $u$ and $v$ are adjacent if and only if $u - v$ or $v-u$ is a square of some units in $\mathbb{Z}_n$.…

We set the ground for a theory of quantum walks on graphs- the generalization of random walks on finite graphs to the quantum world. Such quantum walks do not converge to any stationary distribution, as they are unitary and reversible.…

We show that random walks on semisimple algebraic groups do not concentrate on proper algebraic subvarieties with uniform exponential rate of anti-concentration. This is achieved by proving a uniform spectral gap for quasi-regular…

Let $X$ be a graph with adjacency matrix $A$. The \textsl{continuous quantum walk} on $X$ is determined by the unitary matrices $U(t)=\exp(itA)$. If $X$ is the complete graph $K_n$ and $a\in V(X)$, then \[1-|U(t)_{a,a}|\le2/n. \] In a…

The theory of random walks on finite graphs is well developed with numerous applications. In quantum walks, the propagation is governed by quantum mechanical rules; generalizing random walks to the quantum setting. They have been…

The unitary evolution maps in closed chaotic quantum graphs are known to have universal spectral correlations, as predicted by random matrix theory. In chaotic graphs with absorption the quantum maps become non-unitary. We show that their…

There are presently two models for quantum walks on graphs. The "coined" walk uses discrete time steps, and contains, besides the particle making the walk, a second quantum system, the coin, that determines the direction in which the…

A proof that continuous time quantum walks are universal for quantum computation, using unweighted graphs of low degree, has recently been presented by Childs [PRL 102 180501 (2009)]. We present a version based instead on the discrete time…

We study perfect state transfer and multiple state transfer in oriented normal Cayley graphs. We construct examples in a variety of groups, ranging from abelian to nonsolvable, and establish some general restrictions and nonexistence…

The (standard) average mixing matrix of a continuous-time quantum walk is computed by taking the expected value of the mixing matrices of the walk under the uniform sampling distribution on the real line. In this paper we consider…

A continuous-time quantum walk on a dynamic graph evolves by Schr\"odinger's equation with a sequence of Hamiltonians encoding the edges of the graph. This process is universal for quantum computing, but in general, the dynamic graph that…

We show that certain types of quantum walks can be modeled as waves that propagate in a medium with phase and group velocities that are explicitly calculable. Since the group and phase velocities indicate how fast wave packets can propagate…

We study the entanglement dynamics of discrete time quantum walks acting on bounded finite sized graphs. We demonstrate that, depending on system parameters, the dynamics may be monotonic, oscillatory but highly regular, or quasi-periodic.…

Quantum walks (QWs) describe particles evolving coherently on a lattice. The internal degree of freedom corresponds to a Hilbert space, called coin system. We consider QWs on Cayley graphs of some group $G$. In the literature,…

In this work we explain the necessity for consistently labeled rotation maps for efficiently computing coined discrete time quantum walks on regular graphs.
