Return probabilities and orthogonal polynomials for RWs and QWs

Yusuke Ide, Norio Konno, Tomoyuki Terada

In this paper, we focus on discrete-time random walks (DTRWs) on the path graph with reflecting walls. Also we consider the corresponding continuous-time random walks (CTRWs), discrete-time quantum walks (DTQWs) and continuous-time quantum walks (CTQWs). We give formulas for the return probabilities of these four walks (DTRWs, CTRWs, DTQWs, CTQWs) at the boundary point of the path graph and discuss their relationships. Furthermore, by considering the Ehrenfest model, we derive the scaling limit theorems for the return probabilities of both the CTRW and the CTQW.

Implementation of a continuous-time quantum walk on a sparse graph

Zhaoyang Chen, Guanzhong Li, Lvzhou Li

Continuous-time quantum walks (CTQWs) play a crucial role in quantum computing, especially for designing quantum algorithms. However, how to efficiently implement CTQWs is a challenging issue. In this paper, we study the implementation of CTQWs on sparse graphs, i.e., constructing efficient quantum circuits for implementing the unitary operator ${e}^{\ensuremath{-}iHt}$, where $H=\ensuremath{\gamma}A$ ($\ensuremath{\gamma}$ is a constant and $A$ corresponds to the adjacency matrix of a graph). Our result is, for a $d$-sparse graph with $N$ vertices and evolution time $t$, we can approximate ${e}^{\ensuremath{-}iHt}$ by a quantum circuit with gate complexity $({d}^{3}\ensuremath{\parallel}H\ensuremath{\parallel}tN{log}_{2}{(N))}^{1+o(1)}$, compared to the general Pauli decomposition, which scales like $(\ensuremath{\parallel}H\ensuremath{\parallel}t{N}^{4}{log}_{2}{(N))}^{1+o(1)}$. For sparse graphs, for instance, $d=O(1)$, we obtain a noticeable improvement. Interestingly, our technique is related to graph decomposition. More specifically, we decompose the graph into a union of star graphs, and correspondingly, the Hamiltonian $H$ can be represented as the sum of some Hamiltonians ${H}_{j}$, where each ${e}^{\ensuremath{-}i{H}_{j}t}$ is a CTQW on a star graph which can be implemented efficiently.
