Quantum analogs of a random walk lie at the heart of proposed search algorithms for quantum computers. These quantum walks are more complex than their classical counterparts because entanglement and interference among the particles come into play. Now, Gil Summy of Oklahoma State University in Stillwater and colleagues have carried out a quantum walk by manipulating the momenta of atoms in a Bose-Einstein condensate.
