This paper establishes a robust link between quantum dynamics and classical ones by deriving a probabilistic representation for both continuous-time and discrete-time quantum walks. We first adapt the Molchanov formula, originally employed in the study of Schrodinger operators on multidimensional integer lattices, to characterize the evolution of continuous time quantum walks. Extending this framework, we develop a probabilistic method to represent discrete time quantum walks on an infinite integer line, bypassing the locality constraints that typically inhibit direct application of the Molchanov formula. The validity of our representation is empirically confirmed through a benchmark analysis of the Hadamard walk, demonstrating high fidelity with traditional unitary evolution. Our results suggest that this probabilistic lens offers a powerful alternative for learning multidimensional quantum walks and provides new analytical pathways for investigating quantum systems via classical stochastic processes.
