Quantum Walk

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.

Famous quotes containing the words quantum and/or walk:

    But how is one to make a scientist understand that there is something unalterably deranged about differential calculus, quantum theory, or the obscene and so inanely liturgical ordeals of the precession of the equinoxes.
    Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)

    Harry Morgan: Walk around me. No, go ahead. Walk around me, clear around. Do ya find anything?
    Slim/Marie Brown: No, no Steve. There are no strings tied to you. Not yet.
