Abstract
We introduce an analytically treatable spin decoherence model for quantum walk on a line that yields the exact position probability distribution of an unbiased classical random walk at all-time scales. This spin decoherence model depicts a quantum channel in which simultaneous bit and phase flip operator is applied at random on the coin state. Based on this result we claim that there exist certain quantum channels that can produce exact classical statistical properties for a given one-dimensional quantum walk. Moreover, from the perspective of quantum computing, decoherence model introduced in this study may have useful algorithmic applications when it is applied on quantum walks with non-local initial states.
