Qi Han, Yaxin Kou, Ning Bai, Huan Wang · International Journal of Quantum Information · 2022
In this paper, continuous-time quantum walk is discussed based on the view of quantum probability, i.e. the quantum decomposition of the adjacency matrix A of graph. Regard adjacency matrix A as Hamiltonian which is a real symmetric matrix with elements 0 or 1, so we regard [Formula: see text] as an unbiased evolution operator, which is related to the calculation of probability amplitude. Combining the quantum decomposition and spectral distribution [Formula: see text] of adjacency matrix A, we calculate the probability amplitude reaching each stratum in continuous-time quantum walk on complete bipartite graphs, finite two-dimensional lattices, binary tree, [Formula: see text]-ary tree and [Formula: see text]-fold star power [Formula: see text]. Of course, this method is also suitable for studying some other graphs, such as growing graphs, hypercube graphs and so on, in addition, the applicability of this method is also explained.
