Orientation-dependent Pauli noise in one-dimensional discrete-time quantum walks

Discrete-time quantum walks exhibit ballistic spreading that is highly sensitive to decoherence. We study the long-time dynamics of a one-dimensional discrete-time quantum walk under Pauli noise acting on the coin. Choosing the unitary coin such that its invariant Bloch-sphere axis is orthogonal to the axis fixed by th...
