More generally, quantum coin systems interacting with quantum walker systems to form a QW do not necesserily have to be taken as two different physical systems brought into physical interaction, but may constitute two interacting degrees of freedom of a single quantum system; see, e.g., A. J. Bracken, D. Ellinas, and I. Smyrnakis, Phys. Rev. A PLRAAN 1050-2947 10.1103/PhysRevA.75.022322 75, 022322 (2007), where the spin (coin) and positional (walker) degrees of freedom of a Dirac relativistic electron implement naturally the evolution of a QW and reproduce its asympotic behavior.
