Title: Quantum walks on irregular graphs
Speaker: | Gabriel Coutinho |
Affiliation: | University of São Paulo |
Room: | MC 5501 |
Abstract:
In this talk, we discuss the continuous-time quantum walk model which is described as the solution of Schrodinger's equation. Despite its simple description, many fundamental questions about this model remain open, even when the underlying graph is quite small.
I will talk about some of these questions, and then I will discuss some recent advances in understanding quantum walks in paths of arbitrary length.
