Abstract: We study a continous-time quantum walk on a path graph. In this paper, we show that, for any odd prime

p

and positive integer

t

, the path on

2^{t} p - 1

vertices admits pretty good state transfer between vertices

a

and

n + 1 - a

for each

a

that is a multiple of

2^{t - 1}

with respect to the quantum walk model determined by the XY-Hamiltonian. This gives the first examples of pretty good state transfer occurring between internal vertices on a path, when it does not occur between the extremal vertices.
