Exploring $2d$ localization with a step dependent coin
Abstract: We generalize the coin operator of cite{Zahed_2023}, to include a step dependent feature which induces localization in . This is evident from the probability distributions which can be further used to categorize the localized walks. Localization is also evident from the entropic measures. We compute and compare three distinct measures (a) Shannon Entropy in the position and coin space, (b) Entanglement entropy between position and spin space, and (c) Quantum Relative Entropy which is a POVM of density operators of the step dependent and step independent coins. Shannon Entropy and Entanglement Entropy are periodic and bounded functions of the time steps. The zeros of Shannon and Entanglement entropies signify a complete localization of the wave-function. The Quantum Relative Entropy and Quantum Information Variance exhibit a similar periodic feature with a zero minima where the step dependent and step independent walks coincide. Finally, we compute the numerical localization length (inverse of the Lyapunov Exponent) for the step dependent coin as a function of energy and compare with an approximate perturbative computation, where we put the step dependent coin as a perturbation in the background of a step independent coin. In both the instances, we find that the localization length peaks at approximately the same positions in the momentum space.
