Simple quantum coins enable pretty good state transfer on every hypercube

We consider pretty good state transfer in coined quantum walks between antipodal vertices on the hypercube [Formula: see text]. When [Formula: see text] is a prime, this was proven to occur in the arc-reversal walk with Grover coins. We extend this result by constructing weighted Grover coins that enable pretty good state transfer on every [Formula: see text]. Our coins are real and require modification of the weight on only one arc per vertex. We also generalize our approach and establish a sufficient condition for pretty good state transfer to occur on other graphs.This article is part of the theme issue 'Numerical analysis, spectral graph theory, orthogonal polynomials and quantum algorithms'.

Abstract

We consider pretty good state transfer in coined quantum walks between antipodal vertices on the hypercube [Formula: see text]. When [Formula: see text] is a prime, this was proven to occur in the arc-reversal walk with Grover coins. We extend this result by constructing weighted Grover coins that enable pretty good state transfer on every [Formula: see text]. Our coins are real and require modification of the weight on only one arc per vertex. We also generalize our approach and establish a sufficient condition for pretty good state transfer to occur on other graphs.This article is part of the theme issue 'Numerical analysis, spectral graph theory, orthogonal polynomials and quantum algorithms'.
