Asymptotic Behavior and Limiting Distribution of Quantum Walk on Cycles with General U(2) Coin by Reduced Characteristic Matrix Method

Abstract

We calculated reduced density characteristic matrix (RDCM) for quantum walk on cycles (QWC) to study asymptotic properties of the most general form of quantum walk on cycles with general $U(2)$ coin operator. As an example, entanglement temperature for general initial state has been calculated and compared to previous results. Also, we have modified RDCM to derive analytical expression for general form of limiting distribution (LD).
