内容概述：Normal distribution occupy a “central” position in probability theory. The classical central limit theorem indicates that a group of random variables will uniformly converge to the normal distribution under certain conditions. An important property of normal distribution is that its density function has only one peak. A natural question is whether normal distributions still occupy a “central” position in quantum theory. To answer this question, in this paper, we investigate several central limit theorems for a discrete-time three-state quantum walks on the real line. We introduce a set of special coin update operators—the rotation matrix, whose degrees of freedom include rotation axis and angle. We obtain their explicit forms of the limit distribution for specific axes and angles and we also derive their simulating distribution curves through computer for unsolvable general unitary matrices. The results reveal that three-state quantum walks exhibit three interesting phenomena that differ from two-state quantum walks. First, no unified form of the limit distribution exists for three-state quantum walks. Second, the probability density of two-state quantum walks has at most two peaks, whereas the probability density of three-state quantum walks could have three peaks or even four. Third, we prove that under some very special initial states, the limit distributions of two-state quantum walks could degenerate into the classical normal or uniform distributions, thus, the normal distribution is just a very special form of limit distributions in quantum walks. In this sense, normal distribution has lost its “central” position in quantum framework.
