Abstract
We study continuous-time quantum walks on cycles. We prove two complementary results. Firstly, the cycle $C_9$ does not admit uniform mixing at any time. Using the similar idea and Dickson polynomials, we prove that $C_{15}$ does not admit uniform mixing at any time neither. Secondly, for every prime $p$, we show that the cycle $C_{p^2}$ admits $ε$-uniform mixing.
