Classical random walks on well-behaved graphs are rapidly mixing towards the uniform distribution. Moore and Russell showed that a continuous quantum walk on the hypercube is instantaneously uniform mixing. We show that the continuous-time…

We give new observations on the mixing dynamics of a continuous-time quantum walk on circulants and their bunkbed extensions. These bunkbeds are defined through two standard graph operators: the join G + H and the Cartesian product of…

We study continuous-time quantum walks on graphs which generalize the hypercube. The only known family of graphs whose quantum walk instantaneously mixes to uniform is the Hamming graphs with small arities. We show that quantum uniform…

A classical lazy random walk on cycles is known to mix to the uniform distribution. In contrast, we show that a continuous-time quantum walk on cycles exhibit strong non-uniform mixing properties. Our results include the following: - The…

Continuous-time quantum walks on graphs is a generalization of continuous-time Markov chains on discrete structures. Moore and Russell proved that the continuous-time quantum walk on the $n$-cube is instantaneous exactly uniform mixing but…

We study whether the probability distribution of a discrete quantum walk can get arbitrarily close to uniform, given that the walk starts with a uniform superposition of the outgoing arcs of some vertex. We establish a characterization of…

This paper studies uniform mixing in continuous-time quantum walks. We show that for some unitary signing $\sigma$, the complete graph $K^\sigma_n$ has probabilistic uniform mixing. In contrast, Ahmadi \etal (2003) proved that no complete…

Let $X$ be a weighted graph and $M$ be its adjacency, Laplacian or signless Laplacian matrix. In a continuous quantum walk on $X$, local $\epsilon$-uniform mixing occurs at vertex $u$ if the $u$th column of the matrix $U(t)=e^{itM}$ can be…

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…

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.…

Quantum walks on graphs have shown prioritized benefits and applications in wide areas. In some scenarios, however, it may be more natural and accurate to mandate high-order relationships for hypergraphs, due to the density of information…
