Quantum cellular automata are important tools in understanding quantum dynamics, thanks to their simple and effective list of rules. Here we investigate explicitly how coherence is built and lost in the evolution of one-dimensional automata…

We study charge fluctuations of a family of stochastic charged cellular automata away from the deterministic single-file limit and obtain the exact typical charge probability distributions, known to be anomalous, using hydrodynamics. The…

Cellular automata provide models of parallel computation based on cells, whose connectivity is given by an action of a monoid on the cells. At each step in the computation, every cell is decorated with a state that evolves in discrete steps…

We describe a class of cellular automata (CAs) that are end-to-end differentiable. DCAs interpolate the behavior of ordinary CAs through rules that act on distributions of states. The gradient of a DCA with respect to its parameters can be…

Suppose each site on a one-dimensional chain with periodic boundary condition may take on any one of the states $0,1,..., n-1$, can you find out the most frequently occurring state using cellular automaton? Here, we prove that while the…

Here I describe a view of the evolution of cellular automata that allows to operate on larger structures. Instead of calculating the next state of all cells in one step, the method here developed uses a time slice that can proceed at…

We extend Cellular Automata to time-varying discrete geometries. In other words we formalize, and prove theorems about, the intuitive idea of a discrete manifold which evolves in time, subject to two natural constraints: the evolution does…

We employ $(1 + 1)$-dimensional quantum cellular automata to study the evolution of entanglement and coherence near criticality in quantum systems that display non-equilibrium steady-state phase transitions. This construction permits direct…

Cellular automata are dynamical systems defined on lattices and commuting with the Bernoulli shift. In this work, we focus on the spectral properties of D-dimensional cellular automata. We give a characterization of their spectrum from both…

In dynamical systems such as cellular automata and iterated maps, it is often useful to look at a language or set of symbol sequences produced by the system. There are well-established classification schemes, such as the Chomsky hierarchy,…

Cellular automata (CA) dynamics are ordered in terms of two global parameters, computable {\sl a priori} from the description of rules. While one of them (activity) has been used before, the second one is new; it estimates the average…

Cellular automata (CA) have long attracted attention as dynamical systems with local updating rules and yet can exhibit, for certain rules, complex, long space and time correlated patterns. This contrast with other rules which results in…
