Two examples of discrete-time quantum walks taking continuous steps
This note introduces some examples of quantum random walks in R and proves the weak convergence of their rescaled n-step densities. One of the examples is called the Plancherel quantum walk because the “quantum coin flip” is the Fourier Integral (or Plancherel) Transform. The other examples are the Birkhoff quantum walks, so named because the coin flips are effected by means of measure preservi...
متن کاملOne-dimensional discrete-time quantum walks on random environments
We consider discrete-time nearest-neighbor quantum walks on random environments in one dimension. Using the method based on a path counting, we present both quenched and annealed weak limit theorems for the quantum walk.
متن کاملOracle Continuous Time Random Walks
Abstract. In a continuous time random walk (CTRW), a random waiting time precedes each random jump. The CTRW model is useful in physics, to model diffusing particles. Its scaling limit is a time-changed process, whose densities solve an anomalous diffusion equation. Some applications require the anticipating version, an oracle continuous time random walk (OCTRW), where the next jump after any g...
متن کاملEvanescent continuous-time random walks.
We study how an evanescence process affects the number of distinct sites visited by a continuous-time random walker in one dimension. We distinguish two very different cases, namely, when evanescence can only occur concurrently with a jump, and when evanescence can occur at any time. The first is characteristic of trapping processes on a lattice, whereas the second is associated with spontaneou...
متن کاملRandom Walks on Discrete and Continuous Circles
We consider a large class of random walks on the discrete circle Z/(n), defined in terms of a piecewise Lipschitz function, and motivated by the “generation gap” process of Diaconis. For such walks, we show that the time until convergence to stationarity is bounded independently of n. Our techniques involve Fourier analysis and a comparison of the random walks on Z/(n) with a random walk on the...
