• Abstract: We set the criteria under which superposition of causal order can be incorporated in to quantum walks. In particular, we show that only periodic quantum walks or those with at least one disorder exhibit Superposition of causal order under the action of `quantum switch'. We exemplify our results with a simple example of two-period discrete-time quantum walks. In particular, we observe that periodic quantum walks exhibit causal asymmetry pertaining to the dynamics of the reduced coin state: the dynamics are more non-Markovian for one temporal order than the other. We also note that the non-Markovianity of the reduced coin state due to indefiniteness in causal order tends to match the dynamics of a particular temporal order of the coin state. We substantiate our results with numerical simulations.

  We introduce several new quantifiers to measure the degree of indefiniteness of the causal order for an arbitrary finite number of events and spacetime configurations in superposition. By constructing diagrammatic and knot-theoretic representations of the causal order between events, we find that the definiteness or maximal indefiniteness of the causal order is topologically invariant.

  We study propagation of quantum walks on percolation-generated two-dimensional random lattices. We show that even arbitrarily weak concentrations of randomly removed lattice sites give rise to a complete breakdown of the superdiffusive quantum speed-up. The fragility of quantum speed-up implies dramatic limitations for quantum information applications of quantum walks on random geometries and graphs.

• Topological delocalization in the completely disordered two-dimensional quantum walk [0.0]
  We investigate the effect of spatial disorder on two-dimensional split-step discrete-time quantum walks with two internal "coin" states. We find that spatial disorder of the most general type, i.e., position-dependent Haar random coin operators, does not lead to Anderson localization but to a diffusive spread instead. This is a delocalization, which happens because disorder places the quantum walk to a critical point between different anomalous Floquet-Anderson insulating topological phases.
