Quantum walks on generalized quadrangles (Q2411502)

Summary: We study the transition matrix of a quantum walk on strongly regular graphs. It is proposed by \textit{D. Emms} et al. in [Electron. J. Comb. 13, No. 1, Research paper R34, 14 p. (2006; Zbl 1099.05082)], that the spectrum of \(S^+(U^3)\), a matrix based on the amplitudes of walks in the quantum walk, distinguishes strongly regular graphs. We probabilistically compute the spectrum of the line intersection graphs of two non-isomorphic generalized quadrangles of order \((5^2,5)\) under this matrix and thus provide strongly regular counter-examples to the conjecture.
