Abstracts: In this paper, we work on a
quantum walk whose system is manipulated by a five-diagonal unitary
matrix, and present long-time limit distributions. The quantum walk
launches off a location and
delocalizes in distribution as its
system is getting updated. The five-diagonal matrix contains a phase
term and the quantum walk becomes a standard coined walk when the phase
term is fixed at special values. Or, the phase term gives an effect on
the quantum walk. As a result, we will see an explicit form of a
long-time limit distribution for a quantum walk driven by the matrix,
and thanks to the exact form, we understand how the quantum walker
approximately distributes in space after the long-time evolution has
been executed on the walk.
