Abstract

Based on the three-level quantum system, when it is in resonance, according to any two lattice points closest to Hamiltonian coupling, electrons transition from high energy level to low energy level and release photons; Or absorb photons and transition from low energy level to high energy level, thus obtaining the physical process of quantum walking along a straight line under the condition of equal probability. Then, the optical radiation in the quantum walk is mapped into a Gaussian pulse of the electric field, and the Maxwell's equation is solved by the three dimensional finite-difference time-domain method to obtain the spatial electric distributio. Finally, the physical process ofquantum walking on two parallel lines is further discussed, involving some physical properties such as electromagnetic coupling or coherence, quantum state exchange and so on. The electric field coupling between two lines can be calculated by FDTD, which provides a useful tool for the design and analysis of quantum devices.
