Quantum ultra-walks: Walks on a line with hierarchical spatial heterogeneity

We discuss the model of a one-dimensional, discrete-time walk on a line with spatial heterogeneity in the form of a variable set of ultrametric barriers. Inspired by the homogeneous quantum walk on a line, we develop a formalism by which the classical ultrametric random walk as well as the quantum w...
