Quantum Walks: A Comprehensive Review
by Salvador E. Venegas-Andraca
Publisher: arXiv 2012
Number of pages: 88
Description:
Quantum walks, the quantum mechanical counterpart of classical random walks, is an advanced tool for building quantum algorithms that has been recently shown to constitute a universal model of quantum computation. In this paper we review theoretical advances on the foundations of both discrete- and continuous-time quantum walks, together with the role that randomness plays in quantum walks.

Quantum Information and Computationby John Preskill - California Institute of Technology
We will study the properties that distinguish quantum information from classical information. And we will see how these properties can be exploited in the design of quantum algorithms that solve certain problems faster than classical algorithms can.
