Average position in quantum walks with a U(2) coin

Quantum Physics 2015-06-11 v1

Abstract

We investigated discrete-time quantum walks with an arbitary unitary coin. Here we discover that the average position <x>=max(<x>sin(α+γ)<x> =\max(<x> \sin(\alpha+\gamma), while the initial state is 1/2(0L>+i0R>)1/\sqrt{2}(\mid0L>+i\mid0R>). We prove the result and get some symmetry properties of quantum walks with a U(2) coin with 0L>\mid0L> and 0R>\mid0R> as the initial state.
