Abstract

A Plastic quantum walk admits both continuous time and continuous spacetime. The model has been recently proposed by one of the authors in Di Molfetta and Arrighi (Quant Inf Process 19(2): 47, 2020), leading to a general quantum simulation scheme for simulating fermions in the relativistic and non-relativistic regimes. The extension to two physical dimensions is still missing and here, as a novel result, we demonstrate necessary and sufficient conditions concerning which discrete time quantum walks can admit plasticity, showing the resulting Hamiltonians. We consider coin operators as general 4 parameter unitary matrices, with parameters which are functions of the lattice step size \(\varepsilon \). This dependence on \(\varepsilon \) encapsulates all functions of \(\varepsilon \) for which a Taylor series expansion in \(\varepsilon \) is well defined, making our results very general.

This constraint reduces to the constraint obtained for \(\theta _{0}\) in Ref. [19] when the 1D limit is taken, i.e., \(\zeta _{0y},\theta _{0y},\phi _{0y},\delta =0\) (see Eq. (A7) of Ref. [19])
