For irrational magnetic flux, the spectrum of the two-dimensional Hadamard magnetic quantum walk is a zero-measure Cantor set and the walk has no pure point spectrum, so the spectrum is purely singular continuous.

abstract
We formulate and prove a general weak limit theorem for quantum random walks in one and more dimensions. With $X_n$ denoting position at time $n$, we show that $X_n/n$ converges weakly as $n \to \infty$ to a certain distribution which is absolutely continuous and of bounded support. The proof is rigorous and makes use of Fourier transform methods. This approach simplifies and extends certain preceding derivations valid in one dimension that make use of combinatorial and path integral methods.

Singular continuous Cantor spectrum for magnetic quantum walks
For irrational magnetic flux, the spectrum of the two-dimensional Hadamard magnetic quantum walk is a zero-measure Cantor set and the walk has no pure point spectrum, so the spectrum is purely singular continuous.
