Quantum walks are changing the way scientists think about computation. They use the strange and powerful rules of quantum physics—such as superposition, interference, and entanglement—to solve problems faster and more efficiently than classical computers.
Instead of following one path at a time like classical random walks, quantum walks can explore many paths at once. This behavior opens new possibilities in designing faster algorithms, simulating complex systems, and advancing quantum computing.
A recent review by researchers from the National Innovation Institute of Defense Technology highlights the rising importance of quantum walk computing. Their paper, published in Intelligent Computing, explores how quantum walks are built, how they work, and why they matter.
