Quantum Random Walks of Waves

Understand

The extremely fascinating behaviors of the quantum walks of particles, which differ much from the classical counterparts, have attracted many physicists.

• Here we investigate another interesting part of the quantum walks, that is the quantum walks of waves.
• Firstly, we show the behaviors of the quantum walks of plane wave, which are largely different from the counterparts of either the classical or the quantum walks of particles.
• Two situations - with and without intermediate time measurements of the walks are considered.
