After an introduction to quantum computing, quantum simulation, and then symmetries, it then narrows down to describe quantum transport and quantum walks. It provides a review of the basics of quantum mechanics and the underlying mathematical framework. The fundamentals of quantum walks are described, followed by an overview of plastic quantum walks including limits, analysis, and interpretation of results UR - https://iopscience.iop.org/book/mono/978-0-7503-5744-9 ER -
