- We study continuous-time open quantum walks in one dimension through a matrix representation, focusing on nearest-neighbor transitions for which an associated weight matrix exists. Statistics such as site recurrence are studied in terms of matrix-valued orthogonal polynomials and explicit calculations are obtained for classes of Lindblad generators that model quantum versions of birth-death processes. Emphasis is given to the technical distinction between the cases of a finite or infinite number of vertices. Recent results for open quantum walks are adapted in order to apply the folding trick to continuous-time birth-death chains on the integers. Finally, we investigate the matrix-valued Stieltjes transform associated to the weights.
