• Abstract: One of the unique features of discrete-time quantum walks is called trapping, meaning the inability of the quantum walker to completely escape from its initial position, albeit the system is translationally invariant. The effect is dependent on the dimension and the explicit form of the local coin. A four state discrete-time quantum walk on a square lattice is defined by its unitary coin operator, acting on the four dimensional coin Hilbert space. The well known example of the Grover coin leads to a partial trapping, i.e., there exists some escaping initial state for which the probability of staying at the initial position vanishes. On the other hand, some other coins are known to exhibit strong trapping, where such escaping state does not exist. We present a systematic study of coins leading to trapping, explicitly construct all such coins for discrete-time quantum walks on the 2D square lattice, and classify them according to the structure of the operator and the manifestation of the trapping effect. We distinguish three types of trapping coins exhibiting distinct dynamical properties, as exemplified by the existence or non-existence of the escaping state and the area covered by the spreading wave-packet.

  Chirality is a gapped phase of matter in two spatial dimensions that can be manifested through non-zero thermal or electrical Hall conductance. We prove two no-go theorems that forbid such chirality for a quantum state in a finite dimensional local Hilbert space with strict area law entanglement entropies.

  Parrondo's paradox is a phenomenon where a combination of losing strategies becomes a winning strategy. Unlike traditional quantum steps that allow for equal magnitude forward and backward strides based on the outcome of the coin-toss, the steps employed here permit the strides to be of unequal magnitude.

  We study maximal entanglement generation between a walker and her coin via a discrete-time quantum walk. We solve maximal-entanglement generation as an optimization problem with quantum process fidelity as the cost function. We demonstrate a ten-step quantum walk with such coin sequences and thereby show the desired high-dimensional bipartite entanglement.
