Abstract

Open quantum walks (OQWs) are a class of quantum walks, which are purely driven by the interaction with the dissipative environment. In this paper, we review theoretical advances on the foundations of discrete time OQWs, continuous time OQWs and a scaling limit of OQWs called open quantum Brownian motion. The main focus of the review is on the results and developments of discrete time OQW, covering general formalism, quantum trajectories for OQWs, central limit theorems, the microscopic derivation as well as possible generalisations and applications of OQWs.
