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.

In the present paper, we study the continuous-time quantum walk on quotient graphs. On such graphs, there is a straightforward reduction of the problem to a subspace that can be considerably smaller than the original one. Along the lines of reductions, by using the idea of calculation of the probability amplitudes for continuous-time quantum walk in terms of the spectral distribution associated with the adjacency matrix of graphs [Jafarizadeh and Salimi (Ann. Phys.322 (2007))], we show that the continuous-time quantum walk on original graph Γ induces a continuous-time quantum walk on quotient graph ΓH. Finally, for example, we investigate the continuous-time quantum walk on some quotient Cayley graphs.

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.

In this paper, we study decoherence in continuous-time quantum walks (CTQWs) on one-dimensional regular networks. For this purpose, we assume that every node is represented by a quantum dot continuously monitored by an individual point contact (Gurvitz's model). This measuring process induces decoherence. We focus on small rates of decoherence and then obtain the mixing time bound of the CTQWs on the one-dimensional regular network, whose distance parameter is l ≥ 2. Our results show that the mixing time is inversely proportional to the rate of decoherence, which is in agreement with the mentioned results for cycles in Refs. 29 and 37. Also, the same result is provided in Ref. 38 for long-range interacting cycles. Moreover, we find that this quantity is independent of the distance parameter l (l ≥ 2) and that the small values of decoherence make short the mixing time on these networks.

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.

Since a limit distribution of a discrete-time quantum walk on the line was derived in 2002, a lot of limit theorems for quantum walks with a localized initial state have been reported. On the other hand, in quantum probability theory, there are four notions of independence (free, monotone, commuting, and boolean independence) and quantum central limit theorems associated to each independence have been investigated. The relation between quantum walks and quantum probability theory is still unknown. As random walks are fundamental models in the Kolmogorov probability theory, can the quantum walks play an important role in quantum probability theory? To discuss this problem, we focus on a discrete-time 2-state quantum walk with a non-localized initial state and present a limit theorem. By using our limit theorem, we generate probability laws in the quantum central limit theorems from the quantum walk.

The discrete-time quantum walk is a quantum counterpart of the random walk. It is expected that the model plays important roles in the quantum field. In the quantum information theory, entanglement is a key resource. We use the von Neumann entropy to measure the entanglement between the coin and the particle's position of the quantum walks. Also we deal with the Shannon entropy which is an important quantity in the information theory. In this paper, we show limits of the von Neumann entropy and the Shannon entropy of the quantum walks on the one dimensional lattice starting from the origin defined by arbitrary coin and initial state. In order to derive these limits, we use the path counting method which is a combinatorial method for computing probability amplitude.

We simulate the dynamics of many-particle system of bosons and fermions using discrete time quantum walks on lattices. We present a computational proof of the behaviour of the simulated systems similar to the one observed in Hamiltonian dynamics during quantum thermalization. We record the time evolution of the entropy and the temperature of a specific particle configuration during the entire dynamics and observe how they relax to a state which we call the quantum walk thermal state. This observation is made on two types of lattices while simulating different numbers of particles walking on two grid graphs with 25 vertices. In each case, we observe that the vertices counting statistics, the temperature of the indexed configuration and the dimension of the effective configuration Hilbert space relax simultaneously and remain relaxed for the rest of the many-particle quantum walk.

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.
