The Cattaneo equation, which describes a diffusion process with a finite velocity of propagation, is generalized to describe anomalous transport. Three possible generalizations are proposed, each one supported by a different scheme: continuous time random walks, non-local transport theory, and delayed flux-force relation. The properties of these generalizations are studied in both the long-time and the short-time regimes. In the long-time limit, we recover the mean-square displacement which is…

TLDR
A discrete approximation of quantum mechanics called the quantum random walk is used to study diffusion in one-dimensional crystalline nanostructures and describes a far-from-equilibrium, classical, dynamic mesoscopic diffusion regime.
