Abstract

Boolean networks, first developed in the late 1960s as a tool for studying complex disordered dynamical systems, consist of nodes governed by Boolean functions whose evolution is entirely deterministic in that the state of the network at a given time fully determines the state of the network at some future time. They are known for exhibiting a high degree of spontaneous order and have since become a fundamental tool for modeling a wide variety of systems. In this article I develop a model for quantum autonomous Boolean networks that exhibits many of the same properties as the classical model while also demonstrating uniquely quantum properties within a rich landscape of behavior.
