• Abstract: In this work we make use of generalized inverses associated with quantum channels acting on finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, so that one may calculate the mean hitting time for a particle to reach a chosen goal subspace. The questions studied in this work are motivated by recent results on quantum dynamics on graphs, most particularly quantum Markov chains. We focus on describing how generalized inverses and hitting times can be obtained, with the main novelties of this work with respect to previous ones being that a) we are able to weaken the notion of irreducibility, so that reducible examples can be considered as well, and b) one may consider arbitrary arrival subspaces for general positive, trace preserving maps. Natural examples of reducible maps are given by unitary quantum walks. We also take the opportunity to explain how a more specific inverse, namely the group inverse, appears in our context, in connection with matrix algebraic constructions which may be of independent interest.

We achieve a smooth extension of the Moore functions that implements the STA. We draw attention to the existence of a comparable problem within nonrelativistic quantum mechanics.

  We develop a framework to characterize the separability of a specific type of one-dimensional quasiparticle known as a fermionic anyon. We map this notion of fermionic-anyon separability to the free resources of matchgate circuits. We also identify how entanglement between two qubits encoded in a dual-rail manner, as standard for matchgate circuits, corresponds to the notion of entanglement between fermionic anyons.

  We study the phenomenon of transmission across the singularity that separates the two half-cylinders. All the local realisations of the free (Laplace-Beltrami) quantum Hamiltonian are examined as non-equivalent protocols of transmission/reflection. This allows to comprehend the distinguished status of the so-called bridging' transmission protocol previously identified in the literature.

• Projection Theorem for Discrete-Time Quantum Walks [0.0]
  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.
