Controlled information transfer in continuous-time chiral quantum walks

Abstract: In this paper we investigate properties of continuous time chiral quantum walks, which possess complex valued edge weights in the underlying graph structure, together with an initial Gaussian wavefunction spread over a number of vertices. We demonstrate that, for certain graph topology and phase matching conditions, we are able to direct the flow of probability amplitudes in a specific direction inside the graph network. We design a quantum walk graph analogue of an optical circulator which is a combination of… Show more

“…The deformation is absent at p = k 0 = −π/2, where the second derivative ϵ ′ ′ = 0. This is precisely the physical reason for the high fidelity of wave package transport numerically studied in [21].…”

“…In the absence of time-reversal symmetry (θ nm ̸ = 0, π), a walker can move in a preferred direction, while its movement in other directions is suppressed, which makes the transport time-asymmetric or chiral. We first consider the chiral quantum walk on a chain which was studied in [21]. By choosing phases that scale linearly with the coordinate of sites, it was showed numerically that a directed transport, instead of expansion or asymmetric transport, of a Gaussian wave package with initial zero momentum can be achieved.…”
