Abstract

We propose a quantum walk defined by digraphs (mixed graphs). This is like Grover walk that is perturbed by a certain complex-valued function defined by digraphs. The discriminant of this quantum walk is a matrix that is a certain normalization of generalized Hermitian adjacency matrices. Furthermore, we give definitions of the positive and negative supports of the transfer matrix and exhibit explicit formulas of supports of their square. Also, we provide tables on the identification of digraphs by their eigenvalues.

Footnotes
1
This dynamics of the quantum walk treated on a half plain of the two-dimensional lattice [6] can be regarded as a quantum walk on a digraph, which is not symmetric, because a quantum walker moves to x and y directions, alternatively.
 
2
Quantum walks we will define are a generalization of the Grover walks. As we will see later, walkers in our quantum walk are on \(G^{\pm }\). In the case of Grover walks, the connectedness of graphs is usually assumed, so we need assume that \(G^{\pm }\) is connected.
