Abstract

We study quantum Markov chains on graphs, described by completely positive maps, following the model due to Gudder (J Math Phys 49:072105, 2008), which includes the dynamics given by open quantum random walks as defined by Attal et al. (J Stat Phys 147:832–852, 2012). After reviewing such structures, we examine a quantum notion of mean time of first visit to a chosen vertex. However, instead of making direct use of the definition as it is usually done, we focus on expressions for such quantity in terms of generalized inverses associated with the walk and most particularly the so-called fundamental matrix. Such objects are in close analogy with the theory of Markov chains, and the methods described here allow us to calculate examples that illustrate similarities and differences between the quantum and classical settings.
