We investigate the probability distribution of the quantum walk under coherence non-generating channels. We definea model called generalized classical walk with memory. Under certain conditions, generalized classical random walk withmemory can degrade into classical random walk and classical random walk with memory. Based on its various spreadingspeed, the model may be a useful tool for building algorithms. Furthermore, the model may be useful for measuring thequantumness of quantum walk. The probability distributions of quantum walks are generalized classical random walkswith memory under a class of coherence non-generating channels. Therefore, we can simulate classical random walkand classical random walk with memory by coherence non-generating channels. Also, we find that for another class ofcoherence non-generating channels, the probability distributions are influenced by the coherence in the initial state of thecoin. Nevertheless, the influence degrades as the number of steps increases. Our results could be helpful to explore therelationship between coherence and quantum walk. 相似文献

We analyze the recurrence probability (Pólya number) for d-dimensional unbiased quantum walks. A sufficient condition for a quantum walk to be recurrent is derived. As a by-product we find a simple criterion for localization of quantum walks. In contrast with classical walks, where the Pólya number is characteristic for the given dimension, the recurrence probability of a quantum walk depends in general on the topology of the walk, choice of the coin and the initial state. This allows us to change the character of the quantum walk from recurrent to transient by altering the initial state. 相似文献

In the literature, there are numerous studies of one-dimensional discrete-time quantum walks (DTQWs) using a moving shift operator. However, there is no exact solution for the limiting probability distributions of DTQWs on cycles using a general coin or swapping shift operator. In this paper, we derive exact solutions for the limiting probability distribution of quantum walks using a general coin and swapping shift operator on cycles for the first time. Based on the exact solutions, we show how to generate symmetric quantum walks and determine the condition under which a symmetric quantum walk appears. Our results suggest that choosing various coin and initial state parameters can achieve a symmetric quantum walk. By defining a quantity to measure the variation of symmetry, deviation and mixing time of symmetric quantum walks are also investigated. 相似文献

The analysis of the return probability is one of the most essential and fundamental topics in the study of classical random walks. In this paper, we study the return probability of quantum and correlated random walks in the one-dimensional integer lattice by the path counting method. We show that the return probability of both quantum and correlated random walks can be expressed in terms of the Legendre polynomial. Moreover, the generating function of the return probability can be written in terms of elliptic integrals of the first and second kinds for the quantum walk. 相似文献

Quantum walks have been investigated as they have remarkably different features in contrast to classical random walks. We present a quantum walk in a one-dimensional architecture, consisting of two coins and a walker whose evolution is in both position and phase spaces alternately controlled by the two coins respectively. By analyzing the dynamics evolution of the walker in both the position and phase spaces, we observe an influence on the quantum walk in one space from that in the other space, which behaves like decoherence. We propose an implementation of the two-coin quantum walk in both position and phase spaces via cavity quantum electrodynamics(QED). 相似文献

Quantum walks act in obviously different ways from their classical counterparts, but decoherence will lessen and close this gap between them. To understand this process, it is necessary to investigate the evolution of quantum walks under different decoherence situations. In this article, we study a non-Markovian decoherent quantum walk on a line. In a short time regime, the behavior of the walk deviates from both ideal quantum walks and classical random walks. The position variance as a measure of the quantum walk collapses and revives for a short time, and tends to have a linear relation with time. That is, the walker's behavior shows a diffusive spread over a long time limit, which is caused by non-Markovian dephasing affecting the quantum correlations between the quantum walker and his coin. We also study both quantum discord and measurement-induced disturbance as measures of the quantum correlations, and observe both collapse and revival in the short time regime, and the tendency to be zero in the long time limit. Therefore, quantum walks with non-Markovian decoherence tend to have diffusive spreading behavior over long time limits, while in the short time regime they oscillate between ballistic and diffusive spreading behavior, and the quantum correlation collapses and revives due to the memory effect. 相似文献

A new model of quantum random walks is introduced, on lattices as well as on finite graphs. These quantum random walks take into account the behavior of open quantum systems. They are the exact quantum analogues of classical Markov chains. We explore the “quantum trajectory” point of view on these quantum random walks, that is, we show that measuring the position of the particle after each time-step gives rise to a classical Markov chain, on the lattice times the state space of the particle. This quantum trajectory is a simulation of the master equation of the quantum random walk. The physical pertinence of such quantum random walks and the way they can be concretely realized is discussed. Differences and connections with the already well-known quantum random walks, such as the Hadamard random walk, are established. 相似文献

Quantum walk is a very useful tool for building quantum algorithms due to the faster spreading of probability distributions as compared to a classical random walk. Comparing the spreading of the probability distributions of a quantum walk with that of a mnemonic classical random walk on a one-dimensional infinite chain, we find that the classical random walk could have a faster spreading than that of the quantum walk conditioned on a finite number of walking steps. Quantum walk surpasses classical random walk with memory in spreading speed when the number of steps is large enough. However, in such a situation, quantum walk would seriously suffer from decoherence. Therefore, classical walk with memory may have some advantages in practical applications. 相似文献

For classical random walks, changing or not changing coins makes a trivial influence on the random-walk behaviors. In this paper, we investigate the quantum walk where a walker’s movement is controlled by two initially independent coins alternately partially or fully after each step. We observe that there exist complicated inter-coin correlations in the quantum walk. Specifically, we study the correlations of two coins by tracing out the walker, and analyze classical, general, and quantum correlations between two coins in terms of classical mutual information, quantum mutual information, and measurement-induced disturbance. Our analysis shows different quantum features from that in classical random walks. 相似文献

We define a special class of quantum operations we call Markovian and show that it has the same spectral properties as a corresponding Markov chain. We then consider a convex combination of a quantum operation and a Markovian quantum operation and show that under a norm condition its spectrum has the same properties as in the conclusion of the Perron–Frobenius theorem if its Markovian part does. Moreover, under a compatibility condition of the two operations, we show that its limiting distribution is the same as the corresponding Markov chain. We apply our general results to partially decoherent quantum random walks with decoherence strength \(0 \le p \le 1\). We obtain a quantum ergodic theorem for partially decoherent processes. We show that for \(0 < p \le 1\), the limiting distribution of a partially decoherent quantum random walk is the same as the limiting distribution for the classical random walk. 相似文献

In this paper, we study discrete-time quantum walks on
one-dimensional lattices. We find that the coherent dynamics
depends on the initial states and coin parameters. For infinite
size of lattices, we derive an explicit expression for the return
probability, which shows scaling behavior P(0, t) ~ t
-1 and
does not depends on the initial states of the walk. In the
long-time limit, the probability distribution shows various
patterns, depending on the initial states, coin parameters and the
lattice size. The time-averaged probability mixes to the limiting
probability distribution in linear time, i.e., the mixing time

ε
is a linear function of N (size of the lattices)
for large values of thresholds ϵ. Finally, we introduce
another kind of quantum walk on infinite or even-numbered size of
lattices, and show that by the method of mathematical induction,
the walk is equivalent to the traditional quantum walk with
symmetrical initial state and coin parameter. 相似文献

Quantum walk is one of the main tools for quantum algorithms. Defined by analogy to classical random walk, a quantum walk
is a time-homogeneous quantum process on a graph. Both random and quantum walks can be defined either in continuous or discrete
time. But whereas a continuous-time random walk can be obtained as the limit of a sequence of discrete-time random walks,
the two types of quantum walk appear fundamentally different, owing to the need for extra degrees of freedom in the discrete-time
case.
In this article, I describe a precise correspondence between continuous- and discrete- time quantum walks on arbitrary graphs.
Using this correspondence, I show that continuous-time quantum walk can be obtained as an appropriate limit of discrete-time
quantum walks. The correspondence also leads to a new technique for simulating Hamiltonian dynamics, giving efficient simulations
even in cases where the Hamiltonian is not sparse. The complexity of the simulation is linear in the total evolution time,
an improvement over simulations based on high-order approximations of the Lie product formula. As applications, I describe
a continuous-time quantum walk algorithm for element distinctness and show how to optimally simulate continuous-time query
algorithms of a certain form in the conventional quantum query model. Finally, I discuss limitations of the method for simulating
Hamiltonians with negative matrix elements, and present two problems that motivate attempting to circumvent these limitations. 相似文献

We investigate the evolution of a discrete-time one-dimensional quantum walk driven by a position-dependent coin. The rotation angle, which depends upon the position of a quantum particle, parameterizes the coin operator. For different values of the rotation angle, we observe that such a coin leads to a variety of probability distributions, e.g. localized, periodic, classicallike, semi-classical-like, and quantum-like. Further, we study the Shannon entropy associated with position and the coin space of a quantum particle, and compare them with the case of the position-independent coin. Our results show that the entropy is smaller for most values of the rotation angle as compared to the case of the position-independent coin. We also study the effect of entanglement on the behavior of probability distribution and Shannon entropy by considering a quantum walk with two identical position-dependent entangled coins. We observe that in general, a wave function becomes more localized as compared to the case of the positionindependent coin and hence the corresponding Shannon entropy is lower. Our results show that a position-dependent coin can be used as a controlling tool of quantum walks. 相似文献

The stopping time of a one-dimensional bounded classical random walk(RW) is defined as the number of steps taken by a random walker to arrive at a fixed boundary for the first time.A quantum walk(QW) is a non-trivial generalization of RW,and has attracted a great deal of interest from researchers working in quantum physics and quantum information.In this paper,we develop a method to calculate the stopping time for a one-dimensional QW.Using our method,we further compare the properties of stopping time for QW and RW.We find that the mean value of the stopping time is the same for both of these problems.However,for short times,the probability for a walker performing a QW to arrive at the boundary is larger than that for a RW.This means that,although the mean stopping time of a quantum and classical walker are the same,the quantum walker has a greater probability of arriving at the boundary earlier than the classical walker. 相似文献

We consider the limit distributions of open quantum random walks on one-dimensional lattice space. We introduce a dual process to the original quantum walk process, which is quite similar to the relation of Schrödinger-Heisenberg representation in quantum mechanics. By this, we can compute the distribution of the open quantum random walks concretely for many examples and thereby we can also obtain the limit distributions of them. In particular, it is possible to get rid of the initial state when we consider the evolution of the walk, it appears only in the last step of the computation. 相似文献

We investigate the global chirality distribution of the quantum walk on the line when decoherence is introduced either through simultaneous measurements of the chirality and particle position, or as a result of broken links. The first mechanism drives the system towards a classical diffusive behavior. This is used to build new quantum games, similar to the spin-flip game. The second mechanism involves two different possibilities: (a) All the quantum walk links have the same probability of being broken. (b) Only the quantum walk links on a half-line are affected by random breakage. In case (a) the decoherence drives the system to a classical Markov process, whose master equation is equivalent to the dynamical equation of the quantum density matrix. This is not the case in (b) where the asymptotic global chirality distribution unexpectedly maintains some dependence with the initial condition. Explicit analytical equations are obtained for all cases. 相似文献

Discrete-time random walks simulate diffusion if the single-step probability density function (jump distribution) generating the walk is sufficiently shortranged. In contrast, walks with long-ranged jump distributions considered in this paper simulate Lévy or stable processes. A one-dimensional walk with a selfsimilar jump distribution (the Weierstrass random walk) and its higherdimensional generalizations generate fractal trajectories if certain transience criteria are met and lead to simple analogs of deep results on the Hausdorff-Besicovitch dimension of stable processes. The Weierstrass random walk is lacunary (has gaps in the set of allowed steps) and its characteristic function is Weierstrass' non-differentiable function. Other lacunary random walks with characteristic functions related to Riemann's zeta function and certain numbertheoretic functions have very interesting analytic structure. 相似文献

We consider the coherent exciton transport, modeled by continuous-time quantum walks, on Erdös–Rény graphs in the presence of a random distribution of traps. The role of trap concentration and of the substrate dilution is deepened showing that, at long times and for intermediate degree of dilution, the survival probability typically decays exponentially with a (average) decay rate which depends non-monotonically on the graph connectivity; when the degree of dilution is either very low or very high, stationary states, not affected by traps, get more likely giving rise to a survival probability decaying to a finite value. Both these features constitute a qualitative difference with respect to the behavior found for classical walks. 相似文献
