A simple or a coined quantum walk is defined as the discrete dynamics of a particle with an internal degree of freedom, referred to as coin state, on a graph. The dynamics of a single quantum walk is the result of the repeated action of the composition of a unitary (coin) matrix on the internal degree of freedom followed by a finite range shift on the graph conditional to the coin state. Here, one constructs quantum walks on rooted binary trees and one examines their spectral properties in the stationary, deterministic and homogeneous framework. More especially, one investigates the spectral properties of the quantum walk when the coin matrix is the element of a set of circulant unitary matrices and one proves the absence of singular continuous spectrum.
