With Memory

Recently Mc Gettrick introduced and studied a discrete-time 2-state quantum walk (QW) with a memory in one dimension. He gave an expression for the amplitude of the QW by path counting method. Moreover he showed that the return probability of the walk is more than 1/2 for any even time. In this paper, we compute the stationary distribution by considering the walk as a 4-state QW without memory. Our result is consistent with his claim. In addition, we obtain the weak limit theorem of the rescaled QW. This behavior is strikingly different from the corresponding classical random walk and the usual 2-state QW without memory as his numerical simulations suggested.

We analyze final-time dependent discrete-time quantum walks in one dimension. We compute asymptotics of the return probability of the quantum walk by a path counting approach. Moreover, we discuss a relation between the quantum walk and the corresponding final-time dependent classical random walk.

Weak Limit Theorem

In this paper, the 2-state decomposed-type quantum walk (DQW) on a line is introduced as an extension of the 2-state quantum walk (QW). The time evolution of the DQW is defined with two different matrices, one is assigned to a real component, and the other is assigned to an imaginary component of the quantum state. Unlike the ordinary 2-state QWs, localization and the spreading phenomenon can coincide in DQWs. Additionally, a DQW can always be converted to the corresponding 4-state QW with identical probability measures. In other words, a class of 4-state QWs can be realized by DQWs with 2 states. In this work, we reveal that there is a 2-state DQW corresponding to the 4-state Grover walk. Then, we derive the weak limit theorem of the class of DQWs corresponding to 4-state QWs which can be regarded as the generalized Grover walks.

Weak Limit Theorem

For a discrete two-state quantum walk (QW) on the half-line with a general condition at the boundary, we formulate and prove a weak limit theorem describing the terminal behavior of its transition probabilities. In this context, localization is possible even for a walk predicated on the assumption of homogeneity. For the Hadamard walk on the half-line, the weak limit is shown to be independent of the initial coin state and to exhibit no localization.

Pólya showed in his 1921 paper that the generating function of the return probability for a two-dimensional random walk can be written in terms of an elliptic integral. In this paper we present a similar expression for a one-dimensional quantum walk.

Initial State

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.

We consider the time-independent scattering theory for time evolution operators of one-dimensional two-state quantum walks. The scattering matrix associated with the position-dependent quantum walk naturally appears in the asymptotic behavior at the spatial infinity of generalized eigenfunctions. The asymptotic behavior of generalized eigenfunctions is a consequence of an explicit expression of the Green function associated with the free quantum walk. When the position-dependent quantum walk is a finite rank perturbation of the free quantum walk, we derive a kind of combinatorial construction of the scattering matrix by counting paths of quantum walkers. We also mention some remarks on the tunneling effect.

Path Counting

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.

Return Probability

A return probability of random walks is one of the interesting subjects. As it is well known, the return probability strongly depends on the structure of the space where the random walker moves. On the other hand, the return probability of quantum walks, which are quantum models corresponding to random walks, has also been investigated to some extend lately. In this paper, we take care of a discrete-time three-state quantum walk on a hexagonal lattice from the view point of mathematics. The mathematical result shows a limit of the return probability when the walker starts off at the origin. The result of the limit tells us about a possibility of localization at the position and a dependence of localization on the initial state.
