Perfect state transfer on graphs with a potential
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we study quantum state transfer (also called quantum tunneling) on graphs when there is a potential function on the vertex set. We present two main results. First, we show that for paths of length greater than three, there is no potential on the vertices of the path for which perfect state transfer between the endpoints can occur. In particular, this resolves (in the negative) a conjecture of Godsil in [8]. Second, we show that if a graph has two vertices that share a common neighborhood, then there is a potential on the vertex set for which perfect state transfer will occur between those two vertices. This gives numerous examples where perfect state transfer does not occur without the potential, but adding a potential makes perfect state transfer possible. In addition, we investigate perfect state transfer on graph products, which gives further examples where perfect state transfer can occur.

Perfect state transfer on signed graphs
We study perfect state transfer of quantum walks on signed graphs. Our aim is to show that negative edges are useful for perfect state transfer. First, we show that the signed join of a negative 2-clique with any positive (n, 3)-regular graph has perfect state transfer even if the unsigned join does not. Curiously, the perfect state transfer time improves as n increases. Next, we prove that a s...
متن کاملWhich weighted circulant networks have perfect state transfer?
The question of perfect state transfer existence in quantum spin networks based on weighted graphs has been recently presented by many authors. We give a simple condition for characterizing weighted circulant graphs allowing perfect state transfer in terms of their eigenvalues. This is done by extending the results about quantum periodicity existence in the networks obtained by Saxena, Severini...
متن کاملPerfect state transfer, integral circulants, and join of graphs
We propose new families of graphs which exhibit quantum perfect state transfer. Our constructions are based on the join operator on graphs, its circulant generalizations, and the Cartesian product of graphs. We build upon the results of Bašić and Petković (Applied Mathematics Letters 22(10):1609-1615, 2009) and construct new integral circulants and regular graphs with perfect state transfer. Mo...
متن کاملFurther results on the perfect state transfer in integral circulant graphs
For a given graph G, denote by A its adjacency matrix and F (t) = exp(iAt). We say that there exists a perfect state transfer (PST) in G if |F (τ)ab| = 1, for some vertices a, b and a positive real number τ . Such a property is very important for the modeling of quantum spin networks with nearest-neighbor couplings. We consider the existence of the perfect state transfer in integral circulant g...
متن کاملSome classes of integral circulant graphs either allowing or not allowing perfect state transfer
The existence of perfect state transfer in quantum spin networks based on integral circulant graphs has been considered recently by Saxena, Severini and Shparlinski. Motivated by the mentioned work, Bašić, Petković and Stevanović give the simple condition for the characterization of integral circulant graphs allowing the perfect state transfer in terms of its eigenvalues. They stated that integ...
