• Abstract: In all existing quantum walk models, the assumption about a pre-existing fixed background causal structure is always made and has been taken for granted. Nevertheless, in this work we will get rid of this tacit assumption especially by introducing indefinite causal order ways of coin tossing and investigate this modern scenario. We find that an ideal-shape and fast-spreading uniform distribution can be prepared with our new model. First we will show how an always-symmetrical instantaneous distribution appears in an indefinite causal order quantum walk, which then paves the way for deriving conditions that enables one to interpret an evolved state as a superposition of its definite causal order counterparts which is however in general prohibited. This property of temporal superposition of states can be generalized from two-process scenarios to cases where arbitrary many $\mathcal{N}$ processes are involved. Finally, we demonstrate how a genuine uniform distribution emerges from an indefinite causal order quantum walk. Remarkably, besides the ideal shape of the distribution, our protocol has another powerful advantage, that is the speed of spatial spreading reaches exactly the theoretical limit in contrast to conventional cases where one may encounter the well-known issue of a $1/\sqrt{2}$ degeneration.

• Growth of entanglement of generic states under dual-unitary dynamics [77.34726150561087]
  Dual-unitary circuits are a class of locally-interacting quantum many-body systems. In particular, they admit a class of solvable" initial states for which, in the thermodynamic limit, one can access the full non-equilibrium dynamics. We show that in this case the entanglement increment during a time step is sub-maximal for finite times, however, it approaches the maximal value in the infinite-time limit.

• Stochastic approximate state conversion for entanglement and general quantum resource theories [41.94295877935867]
  An important problem in any quantum resource theory is to determine how quantum states can be converted into each other. Very few results have been presented on the intermediate regime between probabilistic and approximate transformations. We show that these bounds imply an upper bound on the rates for various classes of states under probabilistic transformations. We also show that the deterministic version of the single copy bounds can be applied for drawing limitations on the manipulation of quantum channels.

  We consider new instantons that appear as a result of accounting for quantum fluctuations. These fluctuations naturally regularize the O(4) singular solutions abandoned in Coleman's theory. Unlike the Coleman instantons, the instantons with quantum cores always exist in the cases where the vacuum must be unstable.

We derive an optimal estimate on the speed of such a subspace evolution that may be viewed as a natural generalization of the Fleming bound.
