Abstract:
The notion of quantum walks has provided a valuable model for investigating quantum-information processing and quantum transport, and recently quantum walks have been used to simulate and study topological protection. The report will present recent theory and experiment in this field and aspirations to simulate quantum walks with intrinsic symmetries transcending spin and instead of manifesting SU(n) symmetries.
