Abstract
In this paper we consider the one-dimensional quantum random walk at time starting from initial qubit state determined by unitary matrix . We give a combinatorial expression for the characteristic function of . The expression clarifies the dependence of it on components of unitary matrix and initial qubit state . As a consequence, we present a new type of limit theorems for the quantum random walk. In contrast with the de Moivre-Laplace limit theorem, our symmetric case implies that converges weakly to a limit as , where has a density for . Moreover we discuss some known simulation results based on our limit theorems.
