超立方体上量子行走的命中时间

Hitting time for quantum walks on the hypercube

Hari Krovi, Todd A. Brun

摘要:

图上离散量子行走的命中时间给出了行走到达结束条件之前的平均时间。为了与经典行走的击中时间类似,量子击中时间必须涉及重复测量以及幺正演化。我们推导出一个表达式的命中时间使用超算子,并数值计算它的离散行走的超立方体。发现的值相比,在早期的工作中建议的命中时间的其他类似物。研究了击中时间对幺正"硬币“类型的依赖性,并给出了一个初始态和硬币的例子,它给出了量子行走的无限击中时间。这样的无限击中时间需要相消干涉,并且不能经典地观察到。最后,我们看看扭曲的超立方体,并观察到,在超立方体的对称性损失增加了命中时间。对称性似乎在量子漫步的戏剧性加速和减速中都扮演着重要角色。

英文摘要:

Hitting times for discrete quantum walks on graphs give an average time before the walk reaches an ending condition. To be analogous to the hitting time for a classical walk, the quantum hitting time must involve repeated measurements as well as unitary evolution. We derive an expression for hitting time using superoperators, and numerically evaluate it for the discrete walk on the hypercube. The values found are compared to other analogues of hitting time suggested in earlier work. The dependence of hitting times on the type of unitary ``coin'' is examined, and we give an example of an initial state and coin which gives an infinite hitting time for a quantum walk. Such infinite hitting times require destructive interference, and are not observed classically. Finally, we look at distortions of the hypercube, and observe that a loss of symmetry in the hypercube increases the hitting time. Symmetry seems to play an important role in both dramatic speed-ups and slow-downs of quantum walks.
