Quantum walks: the first detected transition time

Q. Liu,
R. Yin,
K. Ziegler
et al.

Abstract: We consider the quantum first detection problem for a particle evolving on a graph under repeated projective measurements with fixed rate 1/τ . A general formula for the mean first detected transition time is obtained for a quantum walk in a finite-dimensional Hilbert space where the initial state |ψin of the walker is orthogonal to the detected state |ψ d . We focus on diverging mean transition times, where the total detection probability exhibits a discontinuous drop of its value, by mapping the problem onto… Show more

“…c. The return problem In the return problem, when |ψ in = |ψ d and v ϕ (z) = u ϕ (z), the knowledge of the poles is sufficient to describe all first detection statistics. The electrostatic potential can then be used to describe these statistics [84,85]. The symmetry relation ( 44) is a peculiarity of the return problem and implies that ϕ * (1/z) = 1/ϕ(z), when |ψ in = |ψ d .…”

“…Interestingly, there exist regimes in such systems in which anomalous diffusion appears and can even be controlled [50]. Moreover, anomalous diffusion has been detected in transport phenomena such Anderson location [51], the diffusion of matter-waves in disordered systems [52] or quantum walks [53,54].…”
