Quantum walks, the quantum analogue of classical random walks, have emerged as a pivotal framework in the study of quantum dynamics and information processing. These systems exploit inherently quantum ...

We develop a new, random walk-based, algorithm for the Hamiltonian cycle problem. The random walk is on pairs of extreme points of two suitably constructed polytopes. The latter are derived from ...

Quantum walks are changing the way scientists think about computation. They use the strange and powerful rules of quantum physics—such as superposition, interference, and entanglement—to solve ...

Tim Smith has 20+ years of experience in the financial services industry, both as a writer and as a trader. Gordon Scott has been an active investor and technical analyst or 20+ years. He is a ...

Single atoms have been spotted doing the quantum version of the random walk by physicists in Germany. This sighting of a “quantum walk” could help in the design of quantum search algorithms, or in the ...
