Chirality asymptotic behavior and non-Markovianity in quantum walks on a line

Abstract: We investigate the time evolution of the chirality reduced density matrix for a discrete-time quantum walk on a one-dimensional lattice, which is obtained by tracing out the spatial degree of freedom. We analyze the standard case, without decoherence, and the situation where decoherence appears in the form of broken links in the lattice. By examining the trace distance for possible pairs of initial states as a function of time, we conclude that the evolution of the reduced density matrix is non-Markovian, in t… Show more

“…The simplest instance of DTQW is that of a quantum system with two levels translating on a one dimensional discrete position space [29,30], a topology which we use in this work. What makes DTQW especially interesting is that even in the noiseless case, the reduced dynamics of the coin manifests non-Markovian recurrence behavior due to interaction with the position degree of freedom [31]. This could be also envisaged in more complex systems which may possess an inherent non-Markovian feature because of interaction among subsystems.…”

“…Considering the obtained expressions P R ( t ) and P L ( t ) for the coin in Eq. 6, when time t approaches infinity, we find that the populations of the coin P R ( t ) and P L ( t ) are affected by the interference term A ( t →∞), We can find that for one dimensional QW, the contribution to the populations of the coin ( P L ( t ) and P R ( t )) is related to the interference term which is associated with the coefficients a x and b x 51 . From the interference terms in Eq.…”

“…Therefore, it is possible that the transition towards equilibrium will show new features. Among these features is the investigation of a non-Markovian behavior previous to the asymptotic regime, as already observed for the QW [39].…”
