quantum random walks

Quantum random walks are the quantum equivalent of classical random walks, where a particle moves randomly along a path. In the quantum version, the particle exists in a state of multiple possibilities simultaneously, thanks to superposition. This means it can explore multiple paths at once, and interference effects influence its movement. Quantum random walks are useful for developing faster algorithms and understanding quantum phenomena, as they leverage these quantum principles to process information differently than classical methods. They are fundamental in quantum computing research and can improve tasks like searching and solving complex problems efficiently.
