Directivity of Quantum Walk via Its Random Walk Replica

Figure 3

Paths of individual walkers in QWRWs for final time and 100 walkers for (a) example 1 (site-homogeneous model), (b) example 2 (one-defect model), and (c) simple random walk. The linear spreading of quantum walks is visible as quasiballistic trajectories towards the edges. Paths staying around the origin in Ex. 2 (b) localization by the defect coin in the quantum walk.
