We present the quantum algorithm for the Longest Trail Problem. The problem is to search the longest edge-simple path for a graph with $n$ vertexes and $m$ edges. Here edge-simple means no edge occurs in the path twice, but vertexes can…
Finding paths in graphs is a fundamental graph-theoretic task. In this work, we we are concerned with finding a path with some constraints on its length and the number of vertices neighboring the path, that is, being outside of and incident…
We study scattering quantum walks on highly symmetric graphs and use the walks to solve search problems on these graphs. The particle making the walk resides on the edges of the graph, and at each time step scatters at the vertices. All of…
