Abstract
Open quantum walks (OQWs) (also known as open quantum random walks) are quantum analogs of classical Markov chains in probability theory, and have potential application in quantum information and quantum computation. Quantum Bernoulli noises (QBNs) are annihilation and creation operators acting on Bernoulli functionals, and can be used as the environment of an open quantum system. In this paper, by using QBNs as the environment, we introduce an OQW on a general higher-dimensional integer lattice. We obtain a quantum channel representation of the walk, which shows that the walk is indeed an OQW. We prove that all the states of the walk are separable provided its initial state is separable. We also prove that, for some initial states, the walk has a limit probability distribution of higher-dimensional Gauss type. Finally, we show links between the walk and a unitary quantum walk recently introduced in terms of QBNs.
