Introduction to Quantum Walks

December 23, 2018January 7, 2019 ~ beanash ~ 3 Comments

author: Beatrice Nash Abstract In this blog post, we give a broad overview of quantum walks and some quantum walks-based algorithms, including traversal of the glued trees graph, search, and element distinctness [3; 7; 1]. Quantum walks can be viewed as a model for quantum computation, providing an advantage over classical and other non-quantum walks … Continue reading Introduction to Quantum Walks
