Abstract: In this paper, we determine periodicity of quantum walks defined by mixed paths and mixed cycles. By the spectral mapping theorem of quantum walks, consideration of periodicity is reduced to eigenvalue analysis of eta-Hermitian adjacency matrices. First, we investigate coefficients of the characteristic polynomials of eta-Hermitian adjacency matrices. We show that the characteristic polynomials of mixed trees and their underlying graphs are same. We also define n+1 types of mixed cycles and show that every mixed cycle is switching equivalent to one of them. We use these results to discuss periodicity. We show that the mixed paths are periodic for any eta. In addition, we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for a mixed cycle to be periodic and determine their periods.
