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:

    The receipt to make a speaker, and an applauded one too, is short and easy.—Take of common sense quantum sufficit, add a little application to the rules and orders of the House, throw obvious thoughts in a new light, and make up the whole with a large quantity of purity, correctness, and elegancy of style.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    I wished only to be set down in Canada, and take one honest walk there as I might in Concord woods of an afternoon.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
