- Title: Parrondo's paradox for discrete-time quantum walks in momentum space
- Authors: Georg Trautmann, Caspar Groiseau, Sandro Wimberger
- Abstract summary: In particular, we have in mind an experimental realisation with a Bose-Einstein condensate in which the walker's space is momentum space.
We study time-dependent phase fluctuations of the coins as well as perturbations arising from the finite momentum width of the condensate.
We confirm the visibility of Parrondo's paradox for experimentally available time scales of up to a few hundred steps of the walk.

- Abstract: We investigate the possibility of implementing a sequence of quantum walks
whose probability distributions give an overall positive winning probability,
while it is negative for the single walks (Parrondo's paradox). In particular,
we have in mind an experimental realisation with a Bose-Einstein condensate in
which the walker's space is momentum space. Experimental problems in the
precise implementation of the coin operations for our discrete-time quantum
walks are analysed in detail. We study time-dependent phase fluctuations of the
coins as well as perturbations arising from the finite momentum width of the
condensate. We confirm the visibility of Parrondo's paradox for experimentally
available time scales of up to a few hundred steps of the walk.

Parrondo's paradox is a phenomenon where a combination of losing strategies becomes a winning strategy.
Unlike traditional quantum steps that allow for equal magnitude forward and backward strides based on the outcome of the coin-toss, the steps employed here permit the strides to be of unequal magnitude.

We study phase transitions occurring in the stationary state of the dynamics of integrable many-body non-Hermitian Hamiltonians.
We observe that the entanglement phase transitions occurring in the stationary state have the same nature as that occurring in the vacuum of the non-hermitian Hamiltonian.

We show that it is neither necessary nor sufficient for the Poisson bracket between the time variable and the super-Hamiltonian to be equal to unity in all of the phase space.
We also discuss the question of switching between different internal times as well as the Montevideo interpretation of quantum theory.

We make and generalize the observation that summing of probability amplitudes of a discrete-time quantum walk over partitions of the walking graph consistent with the step operator results in a unitary evolution on the reduced graph which is also a quantum walk.
We show that this is is the case for a lazy quantum walk, a walk with large coherent jumps and a walk on a circle with a twisted boundary condition.
