• Abstract: We analyze the application of the history state formalism to quantum walks. The formalism allows one to describe the whole walk through a pure quantum history state, which can be derived from a timeless eigenvalue equation. It naturally leads to the notion of system-time entanglement of the walk, which can be considered as a measure of the number of orthogonal states visited in the walk. We then focus on one-dimensional discrete quantum walks, where it is shown that such entanglement is independent of the initial spin orientation for real Hadamard-type coin operators and real initial states (in the standard basis) with definite site parity. Moreover, in the case of an initially localized particle it can be identified with the entanglement of the unitary global operator that generates the whole history state, which is related to its entangling power and can be analytically evaluated. Besides, it is shown that the evolution of the spin subsystem can also be described through a spin history state with an extended clock. A connection between its average entanglement (over all initial states) and that of the operator generating this state is also derived. A quantum circuit for generating the quantum walk history state is provided as well.

  We show that for any continuously evolving open quantum system, its dynamics can be described by a time-dependent Hamiltonian and probabilistic combinations of up to $d-1$. The formalism provides a scheme to control a quantum state to evolve along designed quantum trajectories, and can be particularly useful in quantum computing and quantum simulation scenes.

  A quantum particle's state, called a time-bidirectional state, is equivalent to a joined state of two particles propagating in opposite time directions. We show how the obtained expressions reduce to known ones in the special cases of no postselection and generalized two-state (density) vectors. We employ the developed techniques for tracking of a qubit's time-reversal journey in a quantum teleportation protocol realized with a cloud-accessible noisy superconducting quantum processor.

• Unconventional mechanism of virtual-state population through dissipation [125.99533416395765]
  We report a phenomenon occurring in open quantum systems by which virtual states can acquire a sizable population in the long time limit. This means that the situation where the virtual state remains unpopulated can be metastable. We show how these results can be relevant for practical questions such as the generation of stable and metastable entangled states in dissipative systems of interacting qubits.

We find such a state when superposing centered on the starting and antipodal positions preserves a high fidelity for a long time. We also explore discrete-time quantum walks to evaluate the qubit fidelity throughout the walk.

  In the quantum Zeno effect, quantum measurements can block the coherent oscillation of a two level system by freezing its state to one of the measurement eigenstates. We show that the onset of the Zeno regime is marked by a $textitcascade of transitions$ in the system dynamics as the measurement strength is increased.
