A discrete-time quantum walk on a graph {gamma} is the repeated application of a unitary evolution operator to a Hilbert space corresponding to the graph. If this unitary evolution operator has an associated group of symmetries, then for certain initial states the walk will be confined to a subspace of the original Hilbert space. Symmetries of the original graph, given by its automorphism group, can be inherited by the evolution operator. We show that a quantum walk confined to the subspace… Expand

Classical random walks on finite graphs have an underrated property: a walk from any vertex can reach every other vertex in finite time, provided they are connected. Discrete-time quantum walks onExpand
STUDY OF CONTINUOUS-TIME QUANTUM WALKS ON QUOTIENT GRAPHS VIA QUANTUM PROBABILITY THEORY
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 smallerExpand

It is shown that Wt,κ can be reduced to the walk on a half line even if the initial state is asymmetric, which plays an important role to analyze the walks on some class of graphs with symmetric initial states. Expand
Systematic Dimensionality Reduction for Quantum Walks: Optimal Spatial Search and Transport on Non-Regular Graphs
• Computer Science, Medicine

This work uses invariant subspace methods, that can be computed systematically using the Lanczos algorithm, to obtain the reduced set of states that encompass the dynamics of the problem at hand without the specific knowledge of underlying symmetries. Expand
Chirality from quantum walks without a quantum coin

Quantum walks (QWs) describe the evolution of quantum systems on graphs. An intrinsic degree of freedom---called the coin and represented by a finite-dimensional Hilbert space---is associated to eachExpand

The theory tells us how the initial state of the walk should be chosen, and how many steps the walk must make in order to find G, and the eigenvalues associated with these two parts in the N→∞ limit must be the same. Expand

The characteristic time tc, which is the time when the first maximum of the probabilities occur on an infinite graph, for the quantum walk is shorter than that of the classical walk, which can interpret that the quantum transport speed on spidernet is faster than the classical one. Expand

It is shown that reversibility is a necessary and sufficient condition for a directed graph to allow the notion of a discrete-time quantum walk, and some implications of this condition are discussed. Expand

A fast quantum mechanical algorithm for database search
In early 1994, it was demonstrated that a quantum mechanical computer could efficiently solve a well-known problem for which there was no known efficient algorithm using classical computers, i.e. testing whether or not a given integer, N, is prime, in a time which is a finite power of o (logN) .

A randomized algorithm is an algorithm that uses random numbers to influence the choices it makes in the course of its computation, so its behavior varies from one execution to another even with a fixed input. Expand
