Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve ...

Quantum walks are changing the way scientists think about computation. They use the strange and powerful rules of quantum physics—such as superposition, interference, and entanglement—to solve ...

Random walks constitute one of the most fundamental models in the study of stochastic processes, representing systems that evolve in a sequence of random steps. Their applications range from modelling ...

Random walks constitute a fundamental model in probability theory, widely employed to elucidate diffusion processes and random fluctuations in disordered systems. The Gaussian free field (GFF) ...
