Open quantum random walks with decoherence on coins with \(n\) degrees of freedom



Abstract: In this paper, we define a new type of decoherent quantum random walks with parameter 0leple1, which becomes a unitary quantum random walk (UQRW) when p=0 and an open quantum random walk (OPRW) when p=1 respectively. We call this process a partially open quantum random walk (POQRW). We study the limiting distribution of a POQRW on Z1 subject to decoherence on coins with n degrees of freedom, which converges to a convex combination of normal distributions if the superoperator mathcalLkk satisfies the eigenvalue condition, that is, 1 is an eigenvalue of mathcalLkk with multiplicity one and all other eigenvalues have absolute values less than 1. A Perron-Frobenius type of theorem is provided in determining whether or not the superoperator satisfies the eigenvalue condition. Moreover, we compute the limiting distributions of characteristic equations of the position probability functions for n=2 and 3.
