Quantum Walk
In quantum computing, quantum walks are the quantum analogue of classical random walks. Like the classical random walk, where the walker's current state is described by a probability distribution over positions, the walker in a quantum walk is in a superposition of positions. Like classical random walks, there are two types of quantum walks, discrete-time quantum walks and continuous-time quantum walks.
