Abstract

Using the spectral distribution associated with the adjacency matrix of graphs, we introduce a new method of calculation of amplitudes of continuous-time quantum walk on some rather important graphs, such as line, cycle graph Cn, complete graph Kn, graph Gn, finite path and some other finite and infinite graphs, where all are connected with orthogonal polynomials such as Hermite, Laguerre, Tchebichef, and other orthogonal polynomials. It is shown that using the spectral distribution, one can obtain the infinite time asymptotic behavior of amplitudes simply by using the method of stationary phase approximation (WKB approximation), where as an example, the method is applied to star, two-dimensional comb lattices, infinite Hermite and Laguerre graphs. Also by using the Gauss quadrature formula one can approximate the infinite graphs with finite ones and vice versa, in order to derive large time asymptotic behavior by WKB method. Likewise, using this method, some new graphs are introduced, where their amplitudes are proportional to the product of amplitudes of some elementary graphs, even though the graphs themselves are not the same as the Cartesian product of their elementary graphs. Finally, by calculating the mean end to end distance of some infinite graphs at large enough times, it is shown that continuous-time quantum walk at different infinite graphs belong to different universality classes which are also different from those of the corresponding classical ones.
