A quantum walker moves on the integers with four extra degrees of freedom,performing a coin-shift operation to alter its internal state and position atdiscrete units of time. The time evolution is described by a unitary process.We focus on finding the limit probability law for the position of the walkerand study it by means of Fourier analysis. The quantum walker exhibits bothlocalization and a ballistic behavior. Our two results are given as limittheorems for a 2-period time-dependent walk and they describe the location ofthe walker after it has repeated the unitary process a large number of times.The theorems give an analytical tool to study some of the Parrondo typebehavior in a quantum game which was studied by J. Rajendran and C. Benjamin bymeans of very nice numerical simulations [1]. With our analytical tools at handwe can easily explore the "phase space" of parameters of one of the games,similar to the winning game in their papers. We include numerical evidence thatour two games, similar to theirs, exhibit a Parrondo type paradox.
