Poisson operator on the interacting Fock space associated with a discrete-time quantum walk

We study the Poisson operator on the interacting Fock space associated with a discrete-time quantum walk, which we call the QW-Poisson operator. First, we investigate the spectral properties of the QW-Poisson distribution. In particular, we establish a relation between the spectral distributions of the Poisson operator and the reversed Poisson operator on a general interacting Fock space via a size-biased transform. Next, we study the edge behavior of the density of the QW-Poisson distribution. We show that a phase transition occurs at the left endpoint of the support: depending on the parameter, the density either decays to $0$ or blows up to $+\infty$. Moreover, this phase transition coincides with the transition in the number of atoms of the QW-Poisson distribution, equivalently, in the point spectrum of the QW-Poisson operator, and with whether $0$ belongs to the spectrum of the QW-Poisson operator. Finally, we study a connection between the interacting Fock space associated with a discrete-time quantum walk and noncommutative probability theory. More precisely, we compute the moment-generating function and moments of the QW-Poisson operator, and obtain a limit theorem for the Konno distribution via a Poisson approximation. We also investigate the Boolean self-decomposability of the Konno distribution and the shifted reversed QW-Poisson distribution.

Exponential decay property for eigenfunctions of quantum walks

Under an abstract setting, we show that eigenvectors belong to discrete spectra of unitary operators have exponential decay properties. We apply the main theorem to multi-dimensional quantum walks and show that eigenfunctions belong to a discrete spectrum decay exponentially at infinity.

The Witten index for one-dimensional split-step quantum walks under the non-Fredholm condition

It is recently shown that a split-step quantum walk possesses a chiral symmetry, and that a certain well-defined index can be naturally assigned to it. The index is a well-defined Fredholm index if and only if the associated unitary time-evolution operator has spectral gaps at both $+1$ and $-1.$ In this paper we extend the existing index formula for the Fredholm case to encompass the non-Fredholm case (i.e., gapless case). We make use of a natural extension of the Fredholm index to the non-Fredholm case, known as the Witten index. The aim of this paper is to fully classify the Witten index of the split-step quantum walk by employing the spectral shift function for a rank one perturbation of a fourth order difference operator. It is also shown in this paper that the Witten index can take half-integer values in the non-Fredholm case.

Index Theorems for One-dimensional Chirally Symmetric Quantum Walks with Asymptotically Periodic Parameters

We focus on index theory for chirally symmetric discrete-time quantum walks on the one-dimensional integer lattice. Such a discrete-time quantum walk model can be characterised as a pair of a unitary self-adjoint operator $\varGamma$ and a unitary time-evolution operator $U,$ satisfying the chiral symmetry condition $U^* = \varGamma U \varGamma.$ The significance of this index theory lies in the fact that the index we assign to the pair $(\varGamma,U)$ gives a lower bound for the number of symmetry protected edge-states associated with the time-evolution $U.$ The symmetry protection of edge-states is one of the important features of the bulk-edge correspondence. The purpose of the present paper is to revisit the well-known bulk-edge correspondence for the split-step quantum walk on the one-dimensional integer lattice. The existing mathematics literature makes use of a fundamental assumption, known as the $2$-phase condition, but we completely replace it by the so-called asymptotically periodic assumption in this article. This generalisation heavily relies on analysis of some topological invariants associated with Toeplitz operators.

Absence of singular continuous spectra and embedded eigenvalues for one dimensional quantum walks with general long-range coins

This paper is a continuation of the paper \cite{W} by the third author, which studied quantum walks with special long-range perturbations of the coin operator. In this paper, we consider general long-range perturbations of the coin operator and prove the non-existence of a singular continuous spectrum and embedded eigenvalues. The proof relies on the construction of generalized eigenfunctions (Jost solutions) which was studied in the short-range case in \cite{MSSSSdis}.

Unitary equivalence classes of split-step quantum walks

This study investigates the unitary equivalence of split-step quantum walks (SSQW). We consider a new class of quantum walks which includes all SSQWs. We show the explicit form of quantum walks in this class, and clarify their unitary equivalence classes. Unitary equivalence classes of Suzuki's SSQW are also given.

Threshold between short and long-range potentials for non-local Schrödinger operators

We develop scattering theory for non-local Schrödinger operators defined by functions of the Laplacian that include its fractional power $(-Δ)^ρ$ with $0<ρ\leqslant1$. In particular, our function belongs to a wider class than the set of Bernstein functions. By showing the existence and non-existence of the wave operators, we clarify the threshold between the short and long-range decay conditions for perturbational potentials.

Absence of wave operators for one-dimensional quantum walks

We show that there exist pairs of two time evolution operators which do not have wave operators in a context of one-dimensional discrete time quantum walks. As a consequence, the borderline between short range type and long range type is decided.

Spectral analysis of a massless charged scalar field with spacial cut-off

The quantum system of a massless charged scalar field with a self-interaction is investigated. By introducing a spacial cut-off function, the Hamiltonian of the system is realized as a linear operator on a boson Fock space. It is proven that the Hamiltonian strongly commutes with the total charge operator. This fact implies that the state space of the charged scalar field is decomposed into the infinite direct sum of fixed total charge spaces. Moreover, under certain conditions, the Hamiltonian is bounded below, self-adjoint and has a ground ground state for an arbitrarily coupling constant. A relation between the total charge of the ground state and a number operator bound is also revealed.
