Quantum cellular automata (QCAs) are automorphisms of tensor product algebras that preserve locality, with local quantum circuits as a simple example. We study approximate QCAs, where the locality condition is only satisfied up to a small…
We study one dimensional binary Probabilistic Cellular Automaton (PCA) that interpolate between Wolfram's classical rules 23, 77, 178 and 232. These rules are the only ones that satisfy two criteria: (i) in the case of a majority in the…
Discretizing spacetime is often a natural step towards modelling physical systems. For quantum systems, if we also demand a strict bound on the speed of information propagation, we get quantum cellular automata (QCAs). These originally…
In this note, we present some results on the classification of quantum cellular automata (QCA) in 1D under strong equivalence rather than stable equivalence. Under strong equivalence, we only allow adding ancillas carrying the original…
We present a method for computing probability of occurence of 1s in a configuration obtained by iteration of a probabilistic cellular automata (PCA), starting from a random initial configuration. If the PCA is sufficiently simple, one can…

We have improved an algorithm generating synchronizing automata with a large length of the shortest reset words. This has been done by refining some known results concerning bounds on the reset length. Our improvements make possible to…
One can think of some physical evolutions as being the emergent-effective result of a microscopic discrete model. Inspired by classical coarse-graining procedures, we provide a simple procedure to coarse-grain color-blind quantum cellular…
The original local, discrete example of Linear Unitary Cellular Automata (LUCA) is analyzed in terms of a new representation previously introduced in [1] for classical CA. Several important underlying symmetries are reviewed and their tight…
Random boolean cellular automata are investigated, where each gate has two randomly chosen inputs and is randomly assigned a boolean function of its inputs. The effect of non-uniform distributions on the choice of the boolean functions is…

We discuss the action principle and resulting Hamiltonian equations of motion for a class of integer-valued cellular automata introduced recently [1]. Employing sampling theory, these deterministic finite-difference equations are mapped…
Probabilistic cellular automata with deterministic updating are quantum systems. We employ the quantum formalism for an investigation of random probabilistic cellular automata, which start with a probability distribution over initial…
We rigorously prove a form of disorder-resistance for a class of one-dimensional cellular automaton rules, including some that arise as boundary dynamics of two-dimensional solidification rules. Specifically, when started from a random…

This paper explores cellular automata (CA) constructed from Yang-Baxter maps over finite fields $F_{2^n}$. We define $R$-matrices using a map $f$ on $F_{2^n}$ and establish necessary and sufficient conditions for $f$ to satisfy the…
We investigate the density classification task (DCT) -- determining the majority bit in a one-dimensional binary lattice -- within a quantum cellular automaton (CA) framework. While there is no one-dimensional two-state, radius $r \geq 1$,…
We study the class of asynchronous non-uniform cellular automata (ANUCA) over an arbitrary group universe with multiple local transition rules. We introduce the notion of stable injectivity, stable reversibility, stable post-surjectivity…
The density classification problem is one of the simplest yet non-trivial computing tasks which seem to be ideally suitable for cellular automata (CA). Unfortunately, there exists no one-dimensional two-state CA which classifies binary…
A cellular automaton (CA) is a parallel synchronous computing model, which consists in a juxtaposition of finite automata (cells) whose state evolves according to that of their neighbors. Its trace is the set of infinite words representing…
