Mixing Established on Schreier Graphs, Demonstrating Ergodicity for Infinite Cayley Graphs
A team led by El‑Charles Bordenave, Cyril Letrouit and Mostafa Sabri has proved quantum mixing on large Schreier graphs that converge to infinite Cayley graphs.

Their method applies to free products, right‑angled Coxeter groups and any orthonormal basis, extending quantum ergodicity beyond trees and periodic lattices. The work connects spectral delocalisation with spatial delocalisation of eigenvectors, offering a new toolkit for studying quantum chaos on complex networks.
