Non-periodicity conjecture for toroidal grids

About 4 years old · traced to

Let n,m≥3n,m \geq 3 with (n,m)≠(4,4)(n,m) \neq (4,4). A toroidal (n,m)(n,m)-grid is the toroidal grid with parameters nn and mm, and periodic means periodic under the discrete-time quantum walk at some time τ\tau. Non-periodicity conjecture. The toroidal (n,m)(n,m)-grid is not periodic at any time τ\tau. Consequently, it has no perfect state transfer at any time τ\tau. The conjecture concerns the apparent rarity of perfect state transfer in orientable maps: the authors found it in toroidal grids with n=1,2n=1,2 but nowhere else in their computations, and periodicity would be necessary for perfect state transfer.
