    Abstract

    In order to deeply understand the wave particle duality of microscopic particles, explore the transitions between wave state and particle state, and prepare the coexistence states of multi-path wave state and particle state, a theoretical scheme to realize the continuous transition from wave- to particle-state in quantum walks by introducing quantum control is proposed. The variation of the position distribution and variance of quantum walks with auxiliary bit coefficients is calculated respectively. It is shown that quantum control can make the walker not only in the mixed state of wave and particle, but also in the coherent superposition state. The continuous morphing from wave state to particle state is displayed by the position variance in both the coherent way and the mixed way, and the difference between the mixed state control and the coherent state control is also demonstrated. Quantum walks provide a useful platform for in-depth study on the wave-particle duality of microscopic particles.
