Two-particle scattering on general graphs

Abstract

Quantum walks in general graphs, or more specifically scattering on graphs, encompass enough complexity to perform universal quantum computation. Any given quantum circuit can be broken down into single- and two-qubit gates, which can then be translated into subgraphs -- gadgets -- that implement such unitaries on the logical qubits, simulated by particles traveling along a sparse graph. In this work, we start to develop a full theory of multi-particle scattering on graphs and give initial applications to build multi-particle gadgets with different properties.
