One-dimensional quantum walks via generating function and the CGMV method

Norio Konno, Etsuo Segawa · Quantum Information and Computation · 2014

We treat quantum walk (QW) on the line whose quantum coin at each vertex tends to the identity as the distance goes to infinity. We obtain a limit theorem that this QW exhibits localization with not an exponential but a ``power-law" decay around the origin and a ``strongly" ballistic spreading called bottom localization in this paper. This limit theorem implies the weak convergence with linear scaling whose density has two delta measures at $x=0$ (the origin) and $x=1$ (the bottom) without continuous parts.
