Abstract
Quantum walks display very different behavior from classical random walks and are interesting technique for designing quantum algorithms. This talk will cover some basic concepts and algorithmic design of quantum mean estimator and quantum walks, with applications in quantum speedups of Monte Carlo methods and Markov Chains.
