  • Title: On understanding chiral unitaries via real parts
  • Abstract: 
We study unitary operators with chiral symmetry, that is, unitary operators associated with a fixed involution. Such operators naturally arise in the study of quantum walks and related areas. A standard approach is to decompose the underlying Hilbert space according to this symmetry, which leads to a convenient block representation. In this framework, we focus on the real part of the unitary and use it as a useful tool to understand its spectral structure. Based on this viewpoint, we present several related topics and results, illustrating how the real-part perspective provides a simple and unified way to analyze chiral unitaries.
