• Title: Twisted quantum walks, generalised Dirac equation and Fermion doubling
• Authors: Nicolas Jolly and Giuseppe Di Molfetta
• Abstract summary: We introduce a new family of quantum walks, said twisted, which admits as continuous limit, a generalized Dirac operator equipped with a dispersion term. This quadratic term in the energy spectrum acts as an effective mass, leading to a regularization of the well known Fermion doubling problem.

• Abstract: Quantum discrete-time walkers have, since their introduction, demonstrated applications in algorithmic and in modeling and simulating a wide range of transport phenomena. They have long been considered the discrete-time and discrete space analogue of the Dirac equation and have been used as a primitive to simulate quantum field theories precisely because of some of their internal symmetries. In this paper we introduce a new family of quantum walks, said twisted, which admits, as continuous limit, a generalized Dirac operator equipped with a dispersion term. Moreover, this quadratic term in the energy spectrum acts as an effective mass, leading to a regularization of the well known Fermion doubling problem.

  It is well known that Maxwell equations can be expressed in a unitary Schrodinger-Dirac representation for homogeneous media. However, difficulties arise when considering inhomogeneous media. A Dyson map points to a unitary field qubit basis, but the standard qubit lattice algorithm of interleaved unitary collision-stream operators must be augmented by some sparse non-unitary potential operators.

Numerical demonstrations are carried out on the electron transfer model, exhibiting the transient statistical properties of the solvation coordinate.

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.

A new shift or translation operator on the grid is introduced, to take into account arbitrary geometries.

  We simulate a noisy quantum Fourier transform processor with up to 21 qubits. We take into account microscopic dissipative processes rather than relying on digital error models. We show that depending on the dissipative mechanisms at play, the choice of input state has a strong impact on the performance of the quantum algorithm.
