Abstract

It is well known that many real world networks have a power-law degree distribution (the scale-free property). However, there are no rigorous results for continuous-time quantum walks on such realistic graphs. In this paper, we analyse the space–time behaviour of continuous-time quantum walks and random walks on the threshold network model, which is a reasonable candidate model having the scale-free property. We show that the quantum walker exhibits localisation at the starting point, although the random walker tends to spread uniformly.
