Quantum <strong>walk</strong> on a hypercube<br />
hypercube in n dimensions:<br />
n-regular graph<br />
coined <strong>quantum</strong> <strong>walk</strong><br />
(n = 4)<br />
Vertices<br />
n dimensions → x ∈ {0, 1, . . . , 2 n − 1} integer<br />
binary string repr.: ⃗x, n binary dig<strong>its</strong><br />
Useful definitions<br />
Hamming weight: |⃗x| sum of dig<strong>its</strong>/number of 1s<br />
Hamming distance: d(⃗x,⃗y) = |⃗x ⊕ ⃗y|<br />
Edges<br />
⃗x,⃗y ∈ V are connected iff d(⃗x,⃗y) = 1<br />
