In this paper, we consider continuous-time quantum walks (CTQWs) on a one-dimensional ring lattice of N nodes in which every node is connected to its 2m nearest neighbors ( m on either side). In the framework of the Bloch function ansatz, we calculate the space-time transition probabilities between two nodes of the lattice. We find that the transport of CTQWs between two different nodes is faster than that of the classical continuous-time random walks (CTRWs). The transport speed, which is defined by the ratio of the shortest path length and propagating time, increases with the connectivity parameter m for both CTQWs and CTRWs. For fixed parameter m , the transport of CTRWs gets slower with the increase of the shortest distance while the transport (speed) of CTQWs turns out to be a constant value. In the long-time limit, depending on the network size N and connectivity parameter m , the limiting probability distributions of CTQWs show various patterns. When the network size N is an even number, the probability of being at the original node differs from that of being at the opposite node, which also depends on the precise value of parameter m .
