Robust quantum state engineering through coherent localization in biased-coin quantum walks

Abstract We address the performance of a coin-biased quantum walk as a generator for non-classical position states of the walker. We exploit a phenomenon of coherent localization in the position space - resulting from the choice of small values of the coin parameter and assisted by post-selection -...
