• Title: Quantum walks: the first detected transition time
• Authors: Q. Liu, R. Yin, K. Ziegler, and E. Barkai
• Abstract summary: We consider the quantum first detection problem for a particle evolving on a graph with fixed rate $1/tau$. A general formula for the mean first detected transition time is obtained for a quantum walk in a finite-dimensional space. We find close to these critical parameters that the mean transition time is proportional to the fluctuations of the return time, an expression reminiscent of the Einstein relation.

• Abstract: We consider the quantum first detection problem for a particle evolving on a graph under repeated projective measurements with fixed rate $1/\tau$. A general formula for the mean first detected transition time is obtained for a quantum walk in a finite-dimensional Hilbert space where the initial state $|\psi_{\rm in}\rangle$ of the walker is orthogonal to the detected state $|\psi_{\rm d}\rangle$. We focus on diverging mean transition times, where the total detection probability exhibits a discontinuous drop of its value, by mapping the problem onto a theory of fields of classical charges located on the unit disk. Close to the critical parameter of the model, which exhibits a blow-up of the mean transition time, we get simple expressions for the mean transition time. Using previous results on the fluctuations of the return time, corresponding to $|\psi_{\rm in}\rangle = |\psi_{\rm d}\rangle$, we find close to these critical parameters that the mean transition time is proportional to the fluctuations of the return time, an expression reminiscent of the Einstein relation.

  We investigate the dynamics of the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model, composed of $N$ all-to-all interacting spins $1/2$, under a weak external monitoring. We derive a set of semiclassical equations describing the evolution of the expectation values of global spin observables, which become exact in the thermodynamic limit. The transition is not affected by post-selection issues, as it is already visible at the level of ensemble averages.

  We find an appropriate quantum image of the classical arrival time $mathcalT_C(q,p)$, usually in operator form $hatmathrmT$. The resulting quantum image is a real-valued and time-reversal symmetric function $mathcalT_M(q,p)$ in formal series of $hbar2$ with the classical arrival time as the leading term.

  We show that the distribution of a time measurement at a fixed position can be directly inferred from the distribution of a position measurement at a fixed time as given by the Born rule. In an application to a quantum particle of mass $m$ falling in a uniform gravitational field $g, we use this approach to obtain an exact explicit expression for the probability density of the time-of-arrival.
