Quantum Walks, Limits, and Transport Equations

This book provides an overview of quantum walks, limits, and transport equations. After an introduction to quantum computing, quantum simulation, and then symmetries, it then narrows down to describe quantum transport and quantum walks. It provides a review of the basics of quantum mechanics and the underlying mathematical framework. The fundamentals of quantum walks are described, followed by an overview of plastic quantum walks including limits, analysis, and interpretation of results.

Key Features:

• Introduces the subject.

• Presents an overview of quantum walks and plastic quantum walks.

• Demonstrates quantum walk-based simulation schemes.

• Includes the plasticity of a circuit, i.e. the property that allows quantum walks to be convergent in continuous time and continuous or discrete space.

• Discusses limits, analysis, and interpretation of results.
