Parameters of Integral Circulant Graphs and Periodic Quantum Dynamics

چکیده
The intention of the paper is to move a step towards a classification of network topologies that exhibit periodic quantum dynamics. We show that the evolution of a quantum system whose hamiltonian is identical to the adjacency matrix of a circulant graph is periodic if and only if all eigenvalues of the graph are integers (that is, the graph is integral). Motivated by this observation, we focus on relevant properties of integral circulant graphs. Specifically, we bound the number of vertices of integral circulant graphs in terms of their degree, characterize bipartiteness and give exact bounds for their diameter. Additionally, we prove that circulant graphs with odd order do not allow perfect state transfer.

Perfect 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 کاملDistance spectra and Distance energy of Integral Circulant Graphs
The distance energy of a graph G is a recently developed energy-type invariant, defined as the sum of absolute values of the eigenvalues of the distance matrix of G. There was a vast research for the pairs and families of non-cospectral graphs having equal distance energy, and most of these constructions were based on the join of graphs. A graph is called circulant if it is Cayley graph on the ...
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 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...
متن کاملNew results on the energy of integral circulant graphs
Circulant graphs are an important class of interconnection networks in parallel and distributed computing. Integral circulant graphs play an important role in modeling quantum spin networks supporting the perfect state transfer as well. The integral circulant graph ICGn(D) has the vertex set Zn = {0, 1, 2, . . . , n− 1} and vertices a and b are adjacent if gcd(a− b, n) ∈ D, where D ⊆ {d : d | n...
