ε-Uniform Mixing in Discrete Quantum Walks

Abstract

We study whether the probability distribution of a discrete quantum walk can get arbitrarily close to uniform, given that the walk starts with a uniform superposition of the outgoing arcs of some vertex. We establish a characterization of this phenomenon on regular non-bipartite graphs in terms of their adjacency eigenvalues and eigenprojections. Using theory from association schemes, we show this phenomenon happens on a strongly regular graph X if and only if X or X has parameters (4m², 2m²± m, m²± m, m²± m) where m≥ 2.
