Title: Continuous Quantum Walks

Abstract:

Continuous quantum walks are of considerable interest in quantum physics and quantum computing. They arise naturally as quantum analogues of continuous random walks, but in contrast to their classical counterparts, quantum walks exhibit some curious and counter-intuitive properties. I will give an introductory talk on continuous quantum walks and present some of these exciting properties. 

No prior knowledge of anything quantum is assumed.
