We study one-dimensional quantum walks satisfying a set of discrete symmetries and a gap condition. For most of the usual symmetry types, a classification can be built on decoupling, i.e., an arbitrary walk can be deformed continuously and while respecting symmetry and gap conditions into one consisting of two non-interacting half chains. The additional eigenvalues appearing after such decoupling are the basis of the classification. One symmetry type (namely DIII in the Cartan classification) does not seem to allow decoupling in general. For this type an alternative approach presented in a related talk by C. Cedzich can be applied.
