Dissipative realization of a quantum distance-based classifier using open quantum walks

Quantum Physics [Submitted on 16 Mar 2026] Dissipative realization of a quantum distance-based classifier using open quantum walks Pedro Linck Maciel, Graeme Pleasance, Francesco Petruccione, Nadja K. Bernardes Open quantum walks (OQWs) constitute a class of quantum walks whose dynamics are entirely driven by interactions with the environment. It is well known that OQWs provide a general framework for implementing quantum computation. As a proof of principle, we demonstrate the feasibility of running this algorithm within the open quantum walk computation model, and we show that its expected runtime remains finite even in the slower regime.
