 time quantum walks\nAbstract: A continuous-time quantum walk models the ev
 olution of a quantum system under a time-independent Hamiltonian. We can r
 epresent such a system by a graph, where each vertex encodes a qubit, and 
 each edge encodes the interaction between two qubits. This talk introduces
  continuous-time quantum walks whose Hamiltonians are determined by the ad
 jacency matrices or the Laplacian matrices. We will survey some interestin
 g behaviors of the walk and explain them using the spectral information of
  the graph.\n
