• Title: Coined quantum walks on the line: Disorder, entanglement, and localization
• Authors: Louie Hong Yao and Sascha Wald
• Abstract summary: We consider quantum walks on the line and explore the effects of quenched disorder in the coin operations. We find that the mixing properties of the walk are altered nontrivially with mixing being improved at short time scales. We observe that, generically, coin disorder decreases the coin-walker entanglement and that the localization leaves distinct traces in the entanglement entropy and the entanglement negativity of the coined quantum walk.

• Abstract: Disorder in coined quantum walks generally leads to localization. We investigate the influence of the localization on the entanglement properties of coined quantum walks. Specifically, we consider quantum walks on the line and explore the effects of quenched disorder in the coin operations. After confirming that our choice of disorder localizes the walker, we study how the localization affects the properties of the coined quantum walk. We find that the mixing properties of the walk are altered nontrivially with mixing being improved at short time scales. Special focus is given to the influence of coin disorder on the properties of the quantum state and the coin-walker entanglement. We find that disorder alters the quantum state significantly even when the walker probability distribution is still close to the nondisordered case. We observe that, generically, coin disorder decreases the coin-walker entanglement and that the localization leaves distinct traces in the entanglement entropy and the entanglement negativity of the coined quantum walk.

  Signatures of localization have been observed in condensed matter and cold atomic systems. We propose a model of one-dimensional chain of non-interacting, spinless fermions coupled to a local ensemble of baths. We show that the steady state of the system undergoes a localization entanglement phase transition by tuning $p$ which remains stable in the presence of coherent hopping.

We focus on the coherent static and dynamic disorder to investigate anomalous and classical transport. Our results show that a Quantum Walk can be considered as a readout device of information about defects and perturbations occurring in complex networks.

• 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.
