Since a limit distribution of a discrete-time quantum walk on the line was derived in 2002, a lot of limit theorems for quantum walks with a localized initial state have been reported. On the other hand, in quantum probability theory, there are four notions of independence (free, monotone, commuting, and boolean independence) and quantum central limit theorems associated to each independence have been investigated. The relation between quantum walks and quantum probability theory is still unknown. As random walks are fundamental models in the Kolmogorov probability theory, can the quantum walks play an important role in quantum probability theory? To discuss this problem, we focus on a discrete-time 2-state quantum walk with a non-localized initial state and present a limit theorem. By using our limit theorem, we generate probability laws in the quantum central limit theorems from the quantum walk.

We consider a discrete-time quantum walk W_{t,\kappa} at time t on a graph with joined half lines J_\kappa, which is composed of \kappa half lines with the same origin. Our analysis is based on a reduction of the walk on a half line. The idea plays an important role to analyze the walks on some class of graphs with symmetric initial states. In this paper, we introduce a quantum walk with an enlarged basis and show that W_{t,\kappa} can be reduced to the walk on a half line even if the initial state is asymmetric. For W_{t,\kappa}, we obtain two types of limit theorems. The first one is an asymptotic behavior of W_{t,\kappa} which corresponds to localization. For some conditions, we find that the asymptotic behavior oscillates. The second one is the weak convergence theorem for W_{t,\kappa}. On each half line, W_{t,\kappa} converges to a density function like the case of the one-dimensional lattice with a scaling order of t. The results contain the cases of quantum walks starting from the general initial state on a half line with the general coin and homogeneous trees with the Grover coin.

Three different definitions of the renewal processes are considered. For each of them, a central limit theorem with a remainder term is proved. The random variables that form the renewal processes are independent but not necessarily identically distributed and do not have to be positive. The results obtained in this paper improve and extend the central limit theorems obtained by Ahmad (1981) and Niculescu and Omey (1985).

Discrete-time quantum walks are considered a counterpart of random walks and their study has been getting attention since around 2000. In this paper, we focus on a quantum walk which generates a probability distribution splitting to two parts. The quantum walker with two coin states spreads at points, represented by integers, and we analyze the chance of finding the walker at each position after it carries out a unitary evolution a lot of times. The result is reported as a long-time limit distribution from which one can see an approximation to the finding probability.

A quantum central limit theorem for a continuous-time quantum walk on a homogeneous tree is derived from quantum probability theory. As a consequence, a new type of limit theorems for another continuous-time walk introduced by the walk is presented. The limit density is similar to that given by a continuous-time quantum walk on the one-dimensional lattice.

The Skorokhod representation for martingales is used to obtain a functional central limit theorem (or invariance principle) for martingales. It is clear from the method of proof that this result may in fact be extended to the case of triangular arrays in which each row is a martingale sequence and the second main result is a functional central limit theorem for such arrays. These results are then used to obtain two functional central limit theorems for processes with stationary ergodic increments following on from the work of Gordin. The first of these theorems extends a result of Billingsley for Φ-mixing sequences.

A central limit theorem for cumulative processes was first derived by Smith (1955). No remainder term was given. We use a different approach to obtain such a term here. The rate of convergence is the same as that in the central limit theorems for sequences of independent random variables.

As a discrete-time quantum walk model on the one-dimensional integer lattice Z , the quantum walk recently constructed by Wang and Ye [Caishi Wang and Xiaojuan Ye, Quantum walk in terms of quantum Bernoulli noises, Quantum Information Processing 15 (2016), 1897–1908] exhibits quite different features. In this paper, we extend this walk to a higher dimensional case. More precisely, for a general positive integer d ≥ 2 , by using quantum Bernoulli noises we introduce a model of discrete-time quantum walk on the d-dimensional integer lattice Z d , which we call the d-dimensional QBN walk. The d-dimensional QBN walk shares the same coin space with the quantum walk constructed by Wang and Ye, although it is a higher dimensional extension of the latter. Moreover we prove that, for a range of choices of its initial state, the d-dimensional QBN walk has a limit probability distribution of d-dimensional standard Gauss type, which is in sharp contrast with the case of the usual higher dimensional quantum walks. Some other results are also obtained.

A return probability of random walks is one of the interesting subjects. As it is well known, the return probability strongly depends on the structure of the space where the random walker moves. On the other hand, the return probability of quantum walks, which are quantum models corresponding to random walks, has also been investigated to some extend lately. In this paper, we take care of a discrete-time three-state quantum walk on a hexagonal lattice from the view point of mathematics. The mathematical result shows a limit of the return probability when the walker starts off at the origin. The result of the limit tells us about a possibility of localization at the position and a dependence of localization on the initial state.
