"Quantum information processing over networks"
In this survey talk we give an intuitive treatment of the discrete time quantization of classical Markov chains. Grover search and the quantum walk based search algorithms of Ambainis, Szegedy, Magniez/Nayak/Roland/Santha and Magniez/Nayak/ Richter/Santha will be stated as quantum analogues of classical search procedures. We explain the role of phase estimation in the latter algorithms, and we discuss the relationship between the complexities of the search procedures and the quantum hitting times. Finally, in the query complexity model, we show how quantum walks can be applied to the following search problems: Element Distinctness, Matrix Product Verification, Restricted Range Associativity, Triangle, and Group Commutativity.
