We initiate a systematic study of quantum properties of finite graphs, namely, quantum asymmetry, quantum symmetry, and quantum isomorphism. We define the Schmidt alternative for a class of graphs, which reveals to be a useful tool for…

Spectral problems are considered generated by the Sturm-Liouville equation on connected simple equilateral graphs with the Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions at the pendant vertices and continuity and Kirchhoff's conditions at the…

A theorem of Cohn and Lempel [J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 13 (1972), 83-89] gives an equality relating the number of circuits in a directed circuit partition of a 2-in, 2-out digraph to the GF(2)-nullity of an associated matrix. This equality…

Quantum graphs are a paradigmatic model for quantum chaos as well as for spectral theory. We give a concise didactical introduction to quantum graphs, or Schr\"odinger Hamiltonians on metric graphs, with a focus on results related to…

Goresky, Kottwitz and MacPherson have recently shown that the computation of the equivariant cohomology ring of a G-manifold can be reduced to a computation in graph theory. This opens up the possibility that many of the fundamental…

In this survey, we discuss the description of Vaksman-Soibelman quantum spheres using graph C*-algebras, following the seminal work of Hong and Szyma\'nski. We give a slightly different proof of the isomorphism with a graph C*-algebra,…

For time-reversal invariant graphs we prove the Bohigas-Giannoni-Schmit conjecture in its most general form: For graphs that are mixing in the classical limit, all spectral correlation functions coincide with those of the Gaussian…

A graph K is square-free if it contains no four-cycle as a subgraph. A graph K is multiplicative if GxH -> K implies G -> K or H -> K, for all graphs G,H. Here GxH is the tensor (or categorical) graph product and G -> K denotes the…

Consider a quantum graph consisting of a ring with two attached edges, and assume Kirchhoff-Neumann conditions hold at the internal vertices. Associated to this graph is a Schr\"{o}dinger type operator $L=-\Delta +q(x)$ with Dirichlet…

Using periodic orbit theory, we evaluate the form factor of a quantum graph to which a very weak magnetic field is applied. The first correction to the diagonal approximation describing the transition between the universality classes is…

The symmetries of a finite graph are described by its automorphism group; in the setting of Woronowicz's quantum groups, a notion of a quantum automorphism group has been defined by Banica capturing the quantum symmetries of the graph. In…

We determine the quantum automorphism groups of finite graphs. These are quantum subgroups of the quantum permutation groups defined by Wang. The quantum automorphism group is a stronger invariant for finite graphs than the usual one. We…

Given a list of n complex numbers, when can it be the spectrum of a quantum channel, i.e., a completely positive trace preserving map? We provide an explicit solution for the n=4 case and show that in general the characterization of the…

Let $G$ be a simple finite graph, and let $\mathcal U_G$ be the related quantum graph. We study the game algebra $C(\mathrm{Qut}(\mathcal U_G))$ of quantum automorphism of $\mathcal U_G$. Moreover, we prove that for any graph $G$ with…

We prove a noncommutative analogue of Minkowski's integral inequality for commuting squares of tracial von Neumann algebras. The inequality implies a necessary condition for a quadruple of graphs to be realized as inclusion graphs of a…

Quantum symmetry of graph $C^{*}$-algebras has been studied, under the consideration of different formulations, in the past few years. It is already known that the compact quantum group $(\underbrace{C(S^{1})*C(S^{1})*\cdots…

For simple connected graphs with incommensurate bond lengths and with unitary symmetry we prove the Bohigas-Giannoni-Schmit conjecture in its most general form. Using supersymmetry and taking the limit of infinite graph size, we show that…

We introduce a quantum automorphism group for hypergraphs, which turns out to generalize the quantum automorphism group of Bichon for classical graphs. Further, we show that our quantum automorphism group acts on hypergraph C*-algebras as…

We study the spectral statistics of quantum (metric) graphs whose vertices are equipped with preferred orientation vertex conditions. When comparing their spectral statistics to those predicted by suitable random matrix theory ensembles,…

We consider quantum graphs with transparent branching points. To design such networks, the concept of transparent boundary conditions is applied to the derivation of the vertex boundary conditions for the linear Schrodinger equation on…
