Description
Quantum walks represent a generalization of the random walk to the coherent evolution of the
quantum particle on a graph or a lattice. We provide an overview of the concept, focusing on
the discrete-time quantum walk, and illustrate the applications in quantum simulations and
quantum computation. Finally, we introduce a very successful experimental implementation
of quantum walks which is based on photonic time-multiplexing, and review the recent
experiments.
