Lackadaisical quantum walks on 2D grids with multiple marked vertices

Lackadaisical quantum walk (LQW) is a quantum analog of a classical lazy walk, where each vertex has a self-loop of weight $l$. For a regular $\sqrt{N}\times \sqrt{N}$ 2D grid LQW can find a single marked vertex with $O(1)$ probability in $O(\sqrt{N\log N})$ steps using $l=d\mathrm{/}N$, where $d$ is the degree of the vertices of the grid. For multiple marked vertices, however, $l=d\mathrm{/}N$ is not optimal as the success probability decreases with the increase of the number of marked vertices. In this paper, we numerically study search by LQW for different types of 2D grids – triangular, rectangular and honeycomb – with multiple marked vertices. We show that in all cases the weight $l = m\cdot d/N$,where$m$isthenumberofmarkedvertices,stillleadsto$O(1)$ success probability.
