Abstract Models of quantum walks which admit continuous time and continuous spacetime limits have recently led to quantum simulation schemes for simulating fermions in relativistic and nonrelativistic regimes (Molfetta GD, Arrighi P. A quantum walk with both a continuous-time and a continuous-spacetime limit, 2019). This work continues the study of relationships between discrete time quantum walks (DTQW) and their ostensive continuum counterparts by developing a more general framework than was done in Molfetta and Arrighi (A quantum walk with both a continuous-time and a continuous-spacetime limit, 2019) to evaluate the continuous time limit of these discrete quantum systems. Under this framework, we prove two constructive theorems concerning which internal discrete transitions (“coins”) admit nontrivial continuum limits. We additionally prove that the continuous space limit of the continuous time limit of the DTQW can only yield massless states which obey the Dirac equation. Finally, we demonstrate that for general coins the continuous time limit of the DTQW can be identified with the canonical continuous time quantum walk when the coin is allowed to transition through the continuous limit process.

We consider the discrete-time quantum walk whose local dynamics is denoted by a common unitary matrix C at the perturbed region {0,1,⋯,M−1} and free at the other positions. We obtain the stationary state with a bounded initial state. The initial state is set so that the perturbed region receives the inflow ωn at time n(|ω|=1). From this expression, we compute the scattering on the surface of −1 and M and also compute the quantity how quantum walker accumulates in the perturbed region; namely, the energy of the quantum walk, in the long time limit. The frequency of the initial state of the influence to the energy is symmetric on the unit circle in the complex plain. We find a discontinuity of the energy with respect to the frequency of the inflow.

The isomorphism problem involves judging whether two graphs are topologically the same and producing structure-preserving isomorphism mapping. It is widely used in various areas. Diverse algorithms have been proposed to solve this problem in polynomial time, with the help of quantum walks. Some of these algorithms, however, fail to find the isomorphism mapping. Moreover, most algorithms have very limited performance on regular graphs which are generally difficult to deal with due to their symmetry. We propose IsoMarking to discover an isomorphism mapping effectively, based on the quantum walk which is sensitive to topological structures. Firstly, IsoMarking marks vertices so that it can reduce the harmful influence of symmetry. Secondly, IsoMarking can ascertain whether the current candidate bijection is consistent with existing bijections and eventually obtains qualified mapping. Thirdly, our experiments on 1585 pairs of graphs demonstrate that our algorithm performs significantly better on both ordinary graphs and regular graphs.

Discrete-time quantum walks are considered a counterpart of random walks and their study has been getting attention since around 2000. In this paper, we focus on a quantum walk which generates a probability distribution splitting to two parts. The quantum walker with two coin states spreads at points, represented by integers, and we analyze the chance of finding the walker at each position after it carries out a unitary evolution a lot of times. The result is reported as a long-time limit distribution from which one can see an approximation to the finding probability.

The recent paper entitled “Generalized teleportation by means of discrete-time quantum walks on [Formula: see text]-lines and [Formula: see text]-cycles” by Yang et al. [Mod. Phys. Lett. B 33(6) (2019) 1950069] proposed the quantum teleportation by means of discrete-time quantum walks on [Formula: see text]-lines and [Formula: see text]-cycles. However, further investigation shows that the quantum walk over the one-dimensional infinite line can be based over the [Formula: see text]-cycles and cannot be based on [Formula: see text]-lines. The proofs of our claims on quantum walks based on finite lines are also provided in detail.

A quantum central limit theorem for a continuous-time quantum walk on a homogeneous tree is derived from quantum probability theory. As a consequence, a new type of limit theorems for another continuous-time walk introduced by the walk is presented. The limit density is similar to that given by a continuous-time quantum walk on the one-dimensional lattice.

As a discrete-time quantum walk model on the one-dimensional integer lattice Z , the quantum walk recently constructed by Wang and Ye [Caishi Wang and Xiaojuan Ye, Quantum walk in terms of quantum Bernoulli noises, Quantum Information Processing 15 (2016), 1897–1908] exhibits quite different features. In this paper, we extend this walk to a higher dimensional case. More precisely, for a general positive integer d ≥ 2 , by using quantum Bernoulli noises we introduce a model of discrete-time quantum walk on the d-dimensional integer lattice Z d , which we call the d-dimensional QBN walk. The d-dimensional QBN walk shares the same coin space with the quantum walk constructed by Wang and Ye, although it is a higher dimensional extension of the latter. Moreover we prove that, for a range of choices of its initial state, the d-dimensional QBN walk has a limit probability distribution of d-dimensional standard Gauss type, which is in sharp contrast with the case of the usual higher dimensional quantum walks. Some other results are also obtained.

A particular family of Discrete Time Quantum Walks (DTQWs) simulating fermion propagation in 2D curved space-time is revisited. Usual continuous covariant derivatives and spin-connections are generalized into discrete covariant derivatives along the lattice coordinates and discrete connections. The concepts of metrics and 2-beins are also extended to the discrete realm. Two slightly different Riemann curvatures are then defined on the space-time lattice as the curvatures of the discrete spin connection. These two curvatures are closely related and one of them tends at the continuous limit towards the usual, continuous Riemann curvature. A simple example is also worked out in full.

Stochastic diffusion is a general phenomenon observed in various national and engineering systems. It is typically modeled by either stochastic differential equation (SDE) or Fokker-Planck equation (FPE), which are equivalent approaches. Path integral is an accurate and effective method to solve FPEs. Yet, computational efficiency is the common challenge for path integral and other numerical methods, include time and space complexities. Previously, one-dimensional continuous-time quantum walk was used to simulate diffusion. By combining quantum diffusion and random diffusion, the new approach can accelerate the simulation with longer time steps than those in path integral. It was demonstrated that simulation can be dozens or even hundreds of times faster. In this paper, a new generic quantum operator is proposed to simulate drift-diffusion processes in high-dimensional space, which combines quantum walks on graphs with traditional path integral approaches. Probability amplitudes are computed efficiently by spectral analysis. The efficiency of the new method is demonstrated with stochastic resonance problems.
