Title: Quantum walks on Cayley graphs

Abstract:

In this talk we will look at the continuous-time quantum walk on Cayley graphs of finite groups. We will show that normal Cayley graphs enjoy several nice algebraic properties, and then look at state transfer phenomena in Cayley graphs of certain non-abelian p-groups called the extraspecial p-groups. Some of the results we present are part of joint work with Peter Sin.
