Title: Repelling, binding, and oscillating of two-particle discrete-time quantum walks

Journal Article · · Annals of Physics

In this paper, we investigate the effects of particle–particle interaction and static force on the propagation of probability distribution in two-particle discrete-time quantum walk, where the interaction and static force are expressed as a collision phase and a linear position-dependent phase, respectively. It is found that the interaction can lead to boson repelling and fermion binding. The static force also induces Bloch oscillation and results in a continuous transition from boson bunching to fermion anti-bunching. The interplays of particle–particle interaction, quantum interference, and Bloch oscillation provide a versatile framework to study and simulate many-particle physics via quantum walks.
