Abstract
A distinguishability operator is defined for the continuous-time quantum walk (CTQW) of a bipartite quantum walker on two simply connected graphs, , where is the unitary CTQW operator for a labeled graph over a time interval . The null space of defines the vector space of initial bipartite states whose time development is either constant or only dependent on and is invariant to which quantum walker subsystem goes with each graph. The set of null spaces corresponding with a set of have interesting relations as subspaces, intersections between subspaces, and subspaces of intersections. These relations are depicted as Euler diagrams for labeled graphs of three and four vertices.
