We consider how continuous-time quantum walks can be used for graph matching. We focus in detail on both exact and inexact
graph matching, and consider in depth the problem of measuring graph similarity. We commence by constructing an auxiliary
graph, in which the two graph to be matched are co-joined by a layer of indicator nodes (one for each potential correspondence
between a pair of nodes). We simulate a continuous time quantum walk in parallel on the two graphs. The layer of connecting
indicator nodes in the auxiliary graph allow quantum interference to take place between the two walks. The interference amplitudes
on the indicator nodes are determined by differences in the two walks. We show how these interference amplitudes can be used
to compute graph edit distances without explicitly determining node correspondences.
