We propose a model of network growth in which the network is co-evolving together with the dynamics of a quantum mechanical system, namely a quantum walk taking place over the network. The model naturally generalizes the Barabási-Albert model of preferential attachment and it has a rich set of tunable parameters, such as the initial conditions of the dynamics or the interaction of the system with its environment. We show that the model produces networks with two-modal power-law degree distributions, super-hubs, finite clustering coefficient, small-world behaviour and non-trivial degree-degree correlations.

Growth processes occur ubiquitously in social systems, technology, and nature. See, for example, Ref. [1][2][3] for overviews on complex networks growth. Among the most extensively studied models of network growth are those based on preferential attachment -or "the rich get richer"scheme -together with its many variations [4]. Predating networks science, the basic idea behind preferential attachment goes back to the 1920s and the work of the statistician Yule [5]. The set-up usually consists of two ingredients: an iterative process in which new nodes are sequentially added to an existing graph; and a mechanism for choosing the neighbours of newly arrived nodes. Only when the preference on the neighbours is a linear function of the degrees of the nodes, then the degree distribution of the growing graph turns out to be a power-law, as those observed in the majority of real-world complex networks. The literature contains many variants of preferential attachment, respectively defined by local
