Quantum Walk Algorithms Quantum walks, sometimes called quantum random walks, are quantum analogues of (classical) random walks, which have proved to be a very powerful algorithmic tool in classical ...

Quantum walks are changing the way scientists think about computation. They use the strange and powerful rules of quantum physics—such as superposition, interference, and entanglement—to solve ...

Single atoms have been spotted doing the quantum version of the random walk by physicists in Germany. This sighting of a “quantum walk” could help in the design of quantum search algorithms, or in the ...
