Mean hitting times of open quantum walks in terms of generalized inverses
Banff International Research Station for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery
Lardizabal, Carlos — 2019-10-20 In this talk we discuss the model of quantum Markov chains, due to S. Gudder, and most particularly the subset of open quantum walks, due to S. Attal et al., acting on finite graphs. As an iterative process, we use a monitoring procedure to determine the mean time for a quantum walker to visit some chosen vertex for the first time. We are interested in ways of calculating such hitting times besides making direct use of its definition and here we notice algebraic similarities and differences with the classical case. The case of unitary quantum walks remains an interesting open problem for which a solution could have potential applications to the associated theory of Schur functions.

1.Turn on the map filter by clicking the “Limit by map area” toggle.
2.Move the map to display your area of interest. Holding the shift key and clicking to draw a box allows for zooming in on a specific area. Search results change as the map moves.
3.Access a record by clicking on an item in the search results or by clicking on a location pin and the linked record title.
Note: Clusters are intended to provide a visual preview of data location. Because there is a maximum of 50 records displayed on the map, they may not be a completely accurate reflection of the total number of search results.
