Abstract :

Quantum walks are a quantum generalization of random walks, and are a powerful algorithmic technique for quantum simulations. In the proposed thesis, we use variations of quantum walks on networks to present applications in quantum algorithms and simulation, such as modeling diffusion of quantum particles, an algorithm to create a relevance ranking of nodes in a quantum network, and the realization of a quantum random number generator. A method is also proposed to achieve universal quantum computation using this setup.
