Simple quantum coins enable pretty good state transfer on every hypercube.

We consider pretty good state transfer in coined quantum walks between antipodal vertices on the hypercube [Formula: see text]. When [Formula: see text] is a prime, this was proven to occur in the arc-reversal walk with Grover coins. We extend this result by constructing weighted Grover coins that enable pretty good state transfer on every [Formula: see text]. Our coins are real and require modification of the weight on only one arc per vertex. We also generalize our approach and establish a sufficient condition for pretty good state transfer to occur on other graphs.This article is part of the theme issue 'Numerical analysis, spectral graph theory, orthogonal polynomials and quantum algorithms'.
