Description

We study quantum walks through chains consisting of two and three star graphs. The first star has a distinguished vertex labelled START and the last has one labelled END. There are multiple paths between these two vertices, and the object is to find these paths. We show that a quantum walk can do this with a quantum speedup. (paper)
