Abstract

Quantum Bernoulli noises (QBN) are the family of annihilation and creation operators acting on Bernoulli functionals, which satisfy a canonical anti-commutation relation (CAR) in equal time. This paper introduces a new type of fermionic open quantum random walk by formulating it with QBN on single-excitation subspaces. Within this framework, we establish a rigorous criterion for irreducibility, which requires the conjunction of strong graph connectivity, algebraic irreducibility of the transition operators and nonvanishing transition amplitudes. For finite irreducible walks, we prove convergence to a unique invariant state and establish strong convergence under the additional condition of aperiodicity. The theoretical framework is validated through a comprehensive two-node example, which illustrates both the convergence behavior and the intrinsic quantum features of the model.
