Pretty good quantum state transfer via transcendental edge weights

Abstract

We prove that if we take a rooted product of a circulant graph with universal perfect state transfer with a path of fixed length whose end edge is weighted with a transcendental number, then there is pretty good state transfer between any pair of endpoints of these paths. As a consequence, in a path with an even number of vertices with transcendental weights on the two edges incident to the endpoints, there is pretty good state transfer.
