A Discontinuity of the Energy of Quantum Walk in Impurities

Abstract

We consider the discrete-time quantum walk whose local dynamics is denoted by a common unitary matrix C at the perturbed region {0,1,⋯,M−1} and free at the other positions. We obtain the stationary state with a bounded initial state. The initial state is set so that the perturbed region receives the inflow ωn at time n(|ω|=1). From this expression, we compute the scattering on the surface of −1 and M and also compute the quantity how quantum walker accumulates in the perturbed region; namely, the energy of the quantum walk, in the long time limit. The frequency of the initial state of the influence to the energy is symmetric on the unit circle in the complex plain. We find a discontinuity of the energy with respect to the frequency of the inflow.

Drastic advancement in nanophotonics achieved by a new dressed photon study

“…For DPs, thus generated or annihilated around point-like singularities in a given material (a mathematically simplified model of a dopant), a phonon field, as the quantized lattice oscillations, works as their dynamical environment; thus, the goal of DP dynamics would describe DPs' behaviours, i.e., coupling with the environmental phonon field, with their "entries" and "outlets" at singular locations. Since a DP has a highly localized spatial structure, several researchers collaborating with RODreP, for instance, Hamano and Saigo [32], Konno et al [33] and Higuchi et al [34], are now developing models that describe DP behaviours by employing quantum walk approaches.…”

Comfortable place for quantum walkers on finite path

“…The frequency is described by ξ ∈ R/2πZ. In [13], the comfortability to the frequency for quantum walker on the finite path is computed: it is shown that the quantity of the comfortability can be tuned between O(1) and O(M 3 ), where M is the length of the path, by adjusting the frequency ξ. In this paper, we consider more detailed information of the comfortbility on the path; that is,…”
