Hitting times are the average time it takes a walk to reach a given final vertex from a given starting vertex. The hitting time for a classical random walk on a connected graph will always be finite. We show that, by contrast, quantum walks…

In this paper, we introduce hierarchical random walks at first. In this model, we use two types of random walkers, {global and local} walkers. The global walker chooses a local walker at every step, then the chosen local walker moves a…
Quantum walk is a useful model to simulate complex quantum systems and to build quantum algorithms; in particular, to develop spatial search algorithms on graphs, which aim to find a marked vertex as quickly as possible. Quantum walks are…
It is shown that discrete-time quantum walks can be used to digitize, i.e., to time discretize fermionic models of continuous-time lattice gauge theory. The resulting discrete-time dynamics is thus not only manifestly unitary, but also…
Quantum walks with long-range steps $R^{-\gamma}$ ($R$ being the distance between sites) on a discrete line behave in similar ways for all $\gamma\geq2$. This is in contrast to classical random walks, which for $\gamma >3$ belong to a…
We construct concrete examples of time operators for both continuous and discrete-time homogeneous quantum walks, and we determine their deficiency indices and spectra. For a discrete-time quantum walk, the time operator can be self-adjoint…
