This two-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Computing and Communication Foundations, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), provides $175,000 to the Missouri University of Science and Technology to develop new theoretical foundations for quantum walks and their applications. The university will investigate the power and limitations of quantum walks, which are a quantum analogue of classical random walks, in order to broaden the understanding of their dynamical behavior. This includes deriving analytical expressions for certain classes of quantum walks, understanding when they can provide speedups over classical algorithms, and applying them to find non-trivial substructures in graphs and higher-dimensional structures like simplicial complexes. The outcomes of this research are expected to expand the applications of quantum walks in property testing, search problems, and other areas.
