A crossover between open quantum random walks to quantum walks

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We propose an intermediate walk continuously connecting an open quantum random walk and a quantum walk with parameters MinmathbbN controlling a decoherence effect; if M=1, the walk coincides with an open quantum random walk, while M=infty, the walk coincides with a quantum walk. We define a measure which recovers usual probability measures on mathbbZ for M=infty and M=1 and we observe intermediate behavior through numerical simulations for varied positive values M. In the case for M=2, we analytically show that a typical behavior of quantum walks appears even in a small gap of the parameter from the open quantum random walk. More precisely, we observe both the ballistically moving towards left and right sides and localization of this walker simultaneously. The analysis is based on Kato's perturbation theory for linear operator. We futher analyze this limit theorem in more detail and show that the above three modes are described by Gaussian distributions.
