<< Restart is a common strategy observed in nature that accelerates first-passage processes, and has been extensively studied using classical random walks. In the quantum regime, restart in continuous-time quantum walks (CTQWs) has been shown to expedite the quantum hitting times [Phys. Rev. Lett. 130, 050802 (2023)]. >>
Here, AA << study how restarting monitored discrete-time quantum walks (DTQWs) affects the quantum hitting times. (They) show that the restarted DTQWs outperform classical random walks in target searches, benefiting from quantum ballistic propagation, a feature shared with their continuous-time counterparts. >>
