Abstract

The concept of lackadaisical quantum walk – quantum walk with self loops – was first introduced for discrete-time quantum walk on one-dimensional line [8]. Later it was successfully applied to improve the running time of the spacial search on two-dimensional grid [16]. In this paper we study search by lackadaisical quantum walk on the two-dimensional grid with multiple marked vertices. First, we show that the lackadaisical quantum walk, similarly to the regular (non-lackadaisical) quantum walk, has exceptional configuration, i.e. placements of marked vertices for which the walk has no speed-up over the classical exhaustive search. Next, we demonstrate that the weight of the self-loop suggested in [16] is not optimal for multiple marked vertices. And, last, we show how to adjust the weight of the self-loop to overcome the aforementioned problem.
