TY - JOUR T1 - An example of the difference between quantum and classical random walks JF - Quantum Information Processing Y1 - 2001 A1 - Andrew M. Childs A1 - Edward Farhi A1 - Sam Gutmann AB - In this note, we discuss a general definition of quantum random walks on graphs and illustrate with a simple graph the possibility of very different behavior between a classical random walk and its quantum analogue. In this graph, propagation between a particular pair of nodes is exponentially faster in the quantum case.
