13 Homogeneous decoherence For see a transition between Grünbaum et al. s and the Classical random walk we stick in a simplest decoherence. So one step of the process is the following: coherent time step decoherence C[ρ] = UρU measurement D[ρ] xy = dρ xy + ( d)ρ xx δ xy M[ρ] = [I 0 0 ] ρ [I 0 0 ] First mean return time in decoherent quantum walks 9 /

14 T numerical result U + homogeneous decoherence T = N N for d = unitary time evolution, and d = 0 is the classical case d 0 where d ρ t+ = M[T [ρ t ]] = M[D[C[ρ t ]]] d and D[ρ] = ρ dρ dρ... dρ ρ First mean return time in decoherent quantum walks 0 /

15 Numerical study in order to find out?? T = N I) homogeneous decoherence II) Kraus representation III) Master equation First mean return time in decoherent quantum walks /

16 Kraus representation In order to map all quantum channel we can use Kraus representation for the decoherence channel d ρ := D[ρ] = K µ ρk µ µ= ρ m,µ = D m,n µ,ν ρ n,ν trace preserving (probability preserving): d K µk µ = I D stochastic µ= may we will get some redundancy, because the measure and the unitary time evolution can be defined by Kraus operators First mean return time in decoherent quantum walks /

17 numerical guess unital map T [ N I] = N I T = N T [ ] = D[C[ ]] measure less process is unital (leave the totally mixed state invariant) only if d K µ K µ = I D T stochastic µ= trace preserving and untial map quantum walk ρ T [ρ] classical walk λ t Wλ t First mean return time in decoherent quantum walks /

19 Master equation For check we formulated our guess in another language: T [ ] can be substitute with the time evolution which has generated by the t ρ = i [H, ρ] + L(ρ) L(ρ) = i,j κ i,j [ i j ρ j i ( i i ρ + ρ j j ) ] Master equation. First mean return time in decoherent quantum walks /

20 Master equation For check we formulated our guess in another language: T [ ] can be substitute with the time evolution which has generated by the t ρ = i [H, ρ] + L(ρ) L(ρ) = i,j κ i,j [ i j ρ j i ( i i ρ + ρ j j ) ] Master equation. numerical guess unital map L(I) = 0 κ i,j = κ j,i T = N First mean return time in decoherent quantum walks /

21 Conclusion I) numerically studied systems Kraus representation unitary quantum walk homogeneous decoherence inhomogeneous, but symmetric decoherence uni-stochastic map Master equation L(I) = 0 (unital map) II) analytically we need proof for numerical guess T [I] = I unital T = N First mean return time in decoherent quantum walks /
