Active quantum walks: a framework for quantum walks with adiabatic quantum evolution
Nan Wu, Fangmin Song, Xiangdong Li · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 2016
We study a new methodology for quantum walk based algorithms. Different from the passive quantum walk, in which a walker is guided by a quantum walk procedure, the new framework that we developed allows the walker to move by an adiabatic procedure of quantum evolution, as an active way. The use of this active quantum walk is helpful to develop new quantum walk based searching and optimization algorithms.
