Abstract We study continuous time quantum random walk on a comb with infinite teeth and show that the return probability to the starting point decays with time t as t−1. We analyse the diffusion along the spine and into the teeth and show that the walk can escape into the teeth with a finite probability and goes to infinity along the spine with a finite probability. The walk along the spine and into the teeth behaves qualitatively as a quantum random walk on a line. This behaviour is quite different from that of classical random walk on the comb.

A classical lazy random walk on cycles is known to mix with the uniform distribution. In contrast, we show that a continuous-time quantum walk on cycles exhibits strong non-uniform mixing properties. First, we prove that the instantaneous distribution of a quantum walk on most even-length cycles is never uniform. More specifically, we prove that a quantum walk on a cycle Cnis not instantaneous uniform mixing, whenever n satisfies either: (a) n = 2u, for u ≥ 3; or (b) n = 2uq, for u ≥ 1 and q ≡ 3 (mod 4). Second, we prove that the average distribution of a quantum walk on any Abelian circulant graph is never uniform. As a corollary, the average distribution of a quantum walk on any standard circulant graph, such as the cycles, complete graphs, and even hypercubes, is never uniform. Nevertheless, we show that the average distribution of a quantum walk on the cycle Cnis O(1/n)-uniform.

The notion of a quantum random walk in discrete time is formulated and the passage to a continuous time diffusion limit is established. The limiting diffusion is described in terms of solutions of certain quantum stochastic differential equations.
