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 investigate a system of two atoms in an optical lattice, performing a quantum walk by state-dependent shift operations and a coin operation acting on the internal states. The atoms interact, e.g., by cold collisions, whenever they are in the same potential well of the lattice. Under such conditions they typically develop a bound state, so that the two atoms effectively perform a quantum walk together, rarely moving further from each other than a few lattice sites. The theoretical analysis is based on a theory of quantum walks with a point defect, applied to the difference variable. We also discuss the feasibility of an experimental realization in existing quantum walk experiments.

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.
