Transport properties in directed Quantum Walks on the line

We obtained analytical expressions considering a directed continuous-time quantum walk on a directed infinite line using Bessel functions, expanding previous results in the literature, for a general initial condition. We derive the equation for the probability distribution, and show how to recover normal and enhanced decay rates for the survival probability by adjusting the phase factor of the direction of the graph. Our result shows that the mean and standard deviation for a specific non-local initial condition does not depend on the direction.

Reaction-Diffusion Processes from Equivalent Integrable Quantum Chains

One-dimensional reaction-diffusion systems are mapped through a similarity transformation onto integrable (and a priori non-stochastic) quantum chains. Time-dependent properties of these chemical models can then be found exactly. The reaction-diffusion processes related to free fermion systems with site-independent interactions are classified. The time-dependence of the mean particle density is calculated. Furthermore new integrable stochastic processes related to the Heisenberg XXZ chain are identified and the relaxation times for the particle density and density correlation for these systems are found.
