We show that a generic element of a space of limit-periodic CMV operators has zero-measure Cantor spectrum. We also prove a Craig--Simon type theorem for the density of states measure associated with a stochastic family of CMV matrices and use our construction from the first part to prove that the Craig--Simon result is optimal in general. We discuss applications of these results to a quantum walk model where the coins are arranged according to a limit-periodic sequence. The key ingredient in these results is a new formula which may be viewed as a relationship between the density of states measure of a CMV matrix and its Schur function.

  1. Bottleneck Effects and Harmonic-Type Velocity Bounds for Periodic Quantum Walks

    math-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Proves explicit velocity upper bounds for periodic quantum walks including linear bottleneck effects for small transmission parameters and harmonic-mean bounds, plus a general lower bound.

  2. Singular continuous Cantor spectrum for magnetic quantum walks

    quant-ph 2019-08 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.
