Andrew Childs, David Gosset and Zak Webb propose quantum walk-based computing model

In an article published in Science, Childs, Gosset and Webb propose a new notion of multiparticle quantum walks with interactions on graphs. This new computing model is capable of universal quantum computation and can potentially be used as an architecture for building a scalable quantum computer with no need for time-dependent control.
