In 2003\, Childs et \nal. showed that a quantum walk has an exponential speedup over\nclassica l algorithms when traversing the graph from one root vertex to\nthe other. I give evidence that related graphs also have an\nexponential gap between classical algorithms and the quantum walk.\n DTSTAMP:20250714T160120Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
