A discontinuity of the energy of quantum walk in impurities

Abstract

We consider the discrete-time quantum walk whose local dynamics is denoted by $C$ at the perturbed region $\{0,1,\dots ,M-1\}$ and free at the other positions. We obtain the stationary state with a bounded initial state. The initial state is set so that the perturbed region receives the inflow ${\omega }^n$ at time $n$ $(|\omega |=1)$. From this expression, we compute the scattering on the surface of $-1$ and $M$ and also compute the quantity how quantum walker accumulates in the perturbed region; namely the energy of the quantum walk, in the long time limit. We find a discontinuity of the energy with respect to the frequency of the inflow.
