Fractional revival on oriented Cayley and semi-Cayley graphs over abelian groups

Abstract

Fractional revival (FR), a generalization of perfect state transfer (PST), is a significant phenomenon in quantum state transfer that allows quantum information to be transmitted between two qubits with a certain probability. The existence of FR has been extensively studied on many classes of graphs. However, oriented graphs have not yet been investigated. In this paper, we investigate the existence of proper FR on oriented graphs. We first establish necessary and sufficient conditions for oriented graphs to admit proper FR between strongly cospectral vertices. Furthermore, we prove that oriented Cayley graphs over abelian groups do not admit proper FR, and we subsequently characterize the conditions under which oriented semi-Cayley graphs over abelian groups admit proper FR.
