Lett. B 125, 136 (1983)]. In that model, particles are dynamically confined on the brane due to the interaction with a scalar field. We translated this model into an alternate quantum walk with a coin that depends on the external field, with a dependence which mimics a domain wall solution. As in the original model, fermions (in our case, the walker) become localized in one of the dimensions, not from the action of a random noise on the lattice (as in the case of Anderson localization) but from a regular dependence in space. On the other hand, the resulting quantum walk can move freely along the {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}ordinary{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} dimensions.", optnote="WOS:000399931500006", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=3102), last updated on Thu, 18 May 2017 12:29:36 +0000", issn="2469-9926", doi="10.1103/PhysRevA.95.042112", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1612.08027", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.95.042112", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1612.08027", language="English" }
