Abstract There are some problems that quantum computers seem to be exponentially faster than classical computers, like factoring large numbers, machine learning, and simulation of quantum systems. Constructing an appropriate quantum algorithm becomes more important for solving these specific problems. In principle, any quantum algorithm can recast by a quantum random walk algorithm. Although quantum random walk with a few qubits has been implemented in a variety of systems, the experimental demonstration of solid-state quantum random walk remains elusive. Here we report the experimental implementation of the quantum continuous-time random walk algorithm by a two-qubit quantum processor in a nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond. We found that quantum random walk on a circle does not converge to any stationary distribution and exhibit a reversible property. Our results represent a further investigation of quantum walking dynamics in solid spin platforms, may also lead to other practical applications by the use of quantum continuous-time random walk for quantum algorithm design and quantum coherence transport.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
