An impurity in the lattice can be treated like a scattering target and voila! - you've got yourself a QM problem mapped on to a graph. There's a series of beautiful lectures on this model (the independent electron model) in Volume 3 of the Feynman lectures.

This just boggles my mind. How on earth do you map QM over to graphs? This just boggles my mind.
