  Open quantum random walks (OQRWs) deal with quantum random motions on the
line for systems with internal and orbital degrees of freedom. The internal
system behaves as a quantum random gyroscope coding for the direction of the
orbital moves. We reveal the existence of a transition, depending on OQRW
moduli, in the internal system behaviors from simple oscillations to random
flips between two unstable pure states. This induces a transition in the
orbital motions from usual diffusion to ballistically induced diffusion with
large mean free path and large effective diffusion constant at large time. We
also show that mixed states of the internal system are converted into random
pure states during the process. We touch upon possible experimental
realizations.
