Discrete-Time Quantum Walk with Phase Disorder: Localization and Entanglement Entropy

Meng Zeng, Ee Hou Yong

Quantum Walk (QW) has very different transport properties to its classical counterpart due to interference effects. Here we study the discrete-time quantum walk (DTQW) with on-site static/dynamic phase disorder following either binary or uniform distribution in both one and two dimensions. For one dimension, we consider the Hadamard coin; for two dimensions, we consider either a 2-level Hadamard coin (Hadamard walk) or a 4-level Grover coin (Grover walk) for the rotation in coin-space. We study the transport properties e.g. inverse participation ratio (IPR) and the standard deviation of the density function (σ) as well as the coin-position entanglement entropy (EE), due to the two types of phase disorders and the two types of coins. Our numerical simulations show that the dimensionality, the type of coins, and whether the disorder is static or dynamic play a pivotal role and lead to interesting behaviors of the DTQW. The distribution of the phase disorder has very minor effects on the quantum walk.

Controlling probability transfer in the discrete-time quantum walk by modulating the symmetries

Tian Chen, Bo Wang, Xiangdong Zhang

Quantum walks are a useful platform for studying high-efficiency energy transport. In this paper, we study the probability transfer in the discrete-time quantum walk (DTQW) in detail. With intricate design of the initial state, the probability transfer in the DTQW system can exhibit similar behaviors to those in continuous-time quantum walks (CTQWs). Furthermore, without the assumption of a biased initial state and coupling to the environment in the DTQW system, we explore how to achieve directed probability transfer in the DTQW and find that it is closely connected to the time-reversal symmetry of the effective Hamiltonian of the walk. We find that regardless of whether the number of vertices in the DTQW is even or odd, we can control the probability transfer in the DTQW by modulating the time-reversal symmetry of the system. Such control of directed probability transfer can only work well in a CTQW with odd vertices. Even when temporal or spatial disorder emerges in the DTQW, the connection between the probability transfer and the symmetry of the walk still exists. Experimental proposals for observing the probability distributions in the DTQW are discussed.
