We give a new elementary proof of the theorem by Ambainis et al. that for a quantum walk, the probability amplitudes of absorption at the initial point after 4n steps are proportional to the Catalan numbers. We also calculate the absorption probabilities at points close to the initial one and prove a relation that connects the probability amplitudes along the diagonal.
Keywords: Feynman checkers, quantum walks, Catalan numbers, reflection method.
