In this paper, we consider the scattering theory for a one-dimensional quantum walk with impurities which make reflections and transmissions. We focus on an explicit expression of the scattering operator. Our construction of the formula is based on the counting paths of quantum walkers. The Fourier transform of the scattering operator gives an explicit formula of the scattering matrix which is deeply related with the resonant-tunneling for quantum walks.

In this paper, we consider the quantum walk on $mathbb{Z}$ with attachment of one-length path periodically. This small modification to $mathbb{Z}$ provides localization of the quantum walk. The eigenspace causing this localization is generated by finite length round trip paths. We find that the localization is due to the eigenvalues of an underlying random walk. Moreover we find that the transience of the underlying random walk provides a slow down of the pseudo velocity of the induced quantum walk and a different limit distribution from the Konno distribution.
Staggered quantum walks on graphs are based on the concept of graph tessellation and generalize some well-known discrete-time quantum walk models. In this work, we address the class of 2-tessellable quantum walks with the goal of obtaining an eigenbasis of the evolution operator. By interpreting the evolution operator as a quantum Markov chain on an underlying multigraph, we define the concept of quantum detailed balance, which helps to obtain the eigenbasis. A subset of the eigenvectors is obtained from the eigenvectors of the double discriminant matrix of the quantum Markov chain. To obtain the remaining eigenvectors, we have to use the quantum detailed balance conditions. If the quantum Markov chain has a quantum detailed balance, there is an eigenvector for each fundamental cycle of the underlying multigraph. If the quantum Markov chain does not have a quantum detailed balance, we have to use two fundamental cycles linked by a path in order to find the remaining eigenvectors. We exemplify the process of obtaining the eigenbasis of the evolution operator using the kagome lattice (the line graph of the hexagonal lattice), which has symmetry properties that help in the calculation process.
In quantum mechanics textbooks the momentum operator is defined in the Cartesian coordinates and rarely the form of the momentum operator in spherical polar coordinates is discussed. Consequently one always generalizes the Cartesian prescription to other coordinates and falls in a trap. In this work we introduce the difficulties one faces when the question of the momentum operator in general curvilinear coordinates arises. We have tried to elucidate the points related to the definition of the momentum operator taking spherical polar coordinates as our specimen coordinate system and proposed an elementary method in which we can ascertain the form of the momentum operator in general coordinate systems.
We study large time behavior of quantum walks (QW) with self-dependent coin. In particular, we show scattering and derive the reproducing formula for inverse scattering in the weak nonlinear regime. The proof is based on space-time estimate of (linear) QW such as Strichartz estimate. Such argument is standard in the study of nonlinear Schrodinger equations but it seems to be the first time to be applied to QW. We also numerically study the dynamics of QW and observe soliton like solutions.
We introduce an analytically treatable spin decoherence model for quantum walk on a line that yields the exact position probability distribution of an unbiased classical random walk at all-time scales. This spin decoherence model depicts a quantum channel in which simultaneous bit and phase flip operator is applied at random on the coin state. Based on this result we claim that there exist certain quantum channels that can produce exact classical statistical properties for a given one-dimensional quantum walk. Moreover, from the perspective of quantum computing, decoherence model introduced in this study may have useful algorithmic applications when it is applied on quantum walks with non-local initial states.
