Abstract

The continuous limit of quantum walks (QWs) on the line is revisited through a new, recently developed method. In all cases but one, the limit coincides with the dynamics of a Dirac fermion coupled to an artificial electric and/or relativistic gravitational field. All results are carefully discussed and illustrated by numerical simulations. Possible experimental realizations are also addressed.
