Investigation of continuous-time quantum walk by using Krylov subspace-Lanczos algorithm
In papers\cite{js,jsa}, the amplitudes of continuous-time quantum walk on
graphs possessing quantum decomposition (QD graphs) have been calculated by a
new method based on spectral distribution associated to their adjacency matrix.
Here in this paper, it is shown that the continuous-time quantum walk on any
arbitrary graph can be investigated by spectral distribution method, simply by
using Krylov subspace-Lanczos algorithm to generate orthonormal bases of
Hilbert space of quantum walk isomorphic to orthogonal polynomials. Also new
type of graphs possessing generalized quantum decomposition have been
introduced, where this is achieved simply by relaxing some of the constrains
imposed on QD graphs and it is shown that both in QD and GQD graphs, the unit
vectors of strata are identical with the orthonormal basis produced by Lanczos
algorithm. Moreover, it is shown that probability amplitude of observing walk
at a given vertex is proportional to its coefficient in the corresponding unit
vector of its stratum, and it can be written in terms of the amplitude of its
stratum. Finally the capability of Lanczos-based algorithm for evaluation of
walk on arbitrary graphs (GQD or non-QD types), has been tested by calculating
the probability amplitudes of quantum walk on some interesting finite
(infinite) graph of GQD type and finite (infinite) path graph of non-GQD type,
where the asymptotic behavior of the probability amplitudes at infinite limit
of number of vertices, are in agreement with those of central limit theorem of
Ref.\cite{nko}.Comment: 29 pages, 4 figure
