The Thorp shuffle is defined as follows. Cut a deck of cards into two equal piles. Drop the first card from the left pile or the right pile according to the outcome of a fair coin flip, then drop from the other pile. Continue this way until both piles are empty. We show that the mixing time for the Thorp shuffle with $2^d$ cards is polynomial in $d$. |
