• Abstract summary: localization is a characteristic phenomenon of space-inhomogeneous quantum walks in one dimension. In this paper, we introduce the analytical method to calculate eigenvectors using the transfer matrix. We also extend our results to characterize eigenvalues not only for two-phase quantum walks with one defect but also for a more general space-inhomogeneous model.

• Abstract: Localization is a characteristic phenomenon of space-inhomogeneous quantum walks in one dimension, where particles remain localized around their initial position. The existence of eigenvalues of time evolution operators is a necessary and sufficient condition for the occurrence of localization, and their associated eigenvectors are deeply related to the amount of localization, i.e., the probability that the walker stays around the starting position in the long-time limit. In a previous study by authors, the eigenvalues of two-phase quantum walks with one defect were studied using a transfer matrix, which focused on the occurrence of localization (Quantum Inf. Process 20(5), 2021). In this paper, we introduce the analytical method to calculate eigenvectors using the transfer matrix and also extend our results to characterize eigenvalues not only for two-phase quantum walks with one defect but also for a more general space-inhomogeneous model. With these results, we quantitatively evaluate localization and study the strong trapping property by deriving the time-averaged limit distributions of five models studied previously.

  The aim of this thesis is to utilize mathematical techniques previously developed for the related problem of property estimation. Our primary result is to recognize a correspondence between (i) property values which are realized by some quantum state, and (ii) property values which are occasionally produced as estimates of a generic quantum state.

The non-analyticities in the quantum distance between two subsystem density matrices identify the critical time. We propose a distance measure from the upper bound of the local quantum fidelity for certain quench protocols.

This method reveals the necessary and sufficient condition for the eigenvalue problem of a two-phase three-state quantum walk with one defect whose time evolution varies in the negative part, positive part, and at the origin.

  We study the phenomenon of transmission across the singularity that separates the two half-cylinders. All the local realisations of the free (Laplace-Beltrami) quantum Hamiltonian are examined as non-equivalent protocols of transmission/reflection. This allows to comprehend the distinguished status of the so-called bridging' transmission protocol previously identified in the literature.

  Quantum computing may offer the opportunity to simulate strongly-interacting field theories, such as quantum chromodynamics, with physical time evolution. As with present-day calculations, quantum computation strategies still require the restriction to a finite system size. We quantify the volume effects for various $1+1$D Minkowski-signature quantities and show that these can be a significant source of systematic uncertainty.
