• Title: Quantum walks, limits and transport equations
• Authors: Giuseppe Di Molfetta
• Abstract summary: Quantum Walks (QWs) consist of single and isolated quantum systems evolving in discrete or continuous time steps. Plastic QWs are those ones admitting both continuous time-discrete space and continuous spacetime time limit. We show that such QWs can be used to quantum simulate a large class of physical phenomena described by transport equations.

• Abstract: This manuscript gathers and subsumes a long series of works on using QW to simulate transport phenomena. Quantum Walks (QWs) consist of single and isolated quantum systems, evolving in discrete or continuous time steps according to a causal, shift-invariant unitary evolution in discrete space. We start reminding some necessary fundamentals of linear algebra, including the definitions of Hilbert space, tensor state, the definition of linear operator and then we briefly present the principles of quantum mechanics on which this thesis is grounded. After having reviewed the literature of QWs and the main historical approaches to their study, we then move on to consider a new property of QWs, the plasticity. Plastic QWs are those ones admitting both continuous time-discrete space and continuous spacetime time limit. We show that such QWs can be used to quantum simulate a large class of physical phenomena described by transport equations. We investigate this new family of QWs in one and two spatial dimensions, showing that in two dimensions, the PDEs we can simulate are more general and include dispersive terms. We show that the above results do not need to rely on the grid and we prove that such QW-based quantum simulators can be defined on 2-complex simplicia, i.e. triangular lattices. Finally, we extend the above result to any arbitrary triangulation, proving that such QWs coincide in the continuous limit to a transport equation on a general curved surface, including the curved Dirac equation in 2+1 spacetime dimensions.

  This work investigates the quantum entanglement and criticality of the ground-state wave-functions of infinitely-many coupled quantum oscillators (iCQOs) By extending the imaginary-time evolution algorithm with translationally-invariant functional tensor network, we simulate the ground state of iCQOs with the presence of two- and three-body couplings. We reveal the logarithmic scaling law of entanglement entropy (EE) and the scaling law of correlation length against the virtual bond $chi$ at the dividing point of physical and non-physical regions.
