  We show that a quantum state transfer, previously studied as a continuous
time process in networks of interacting spins, can be achieved within the model
of discrete time quantum walks with position dependent coin. We argue that due
to additional degrees of freedom, discrete time quantum walks allow to observe
effects which cannot be observed in the corresponding continuous time case.
First, we study a discrete time version of the engineered coupling protocol due
to Christandl et. al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 187902 (2004)] and then discuss the
general idea of conversion between continuous time quantum walks and discrete
time quantum walks.
