Cellular Automata (CA) are commonly investigated as a particular type of dynamical systems, defined by shift-invariant local rules. In this paper, we consider instead CA as algebraic systems, focusing on the combinatorial designs induced by…

We summarize a recent study of discrete (integer-valued) Hamiltonian cellular automata (CA) showing that their dynamics can only be consistently defined, if it is linear in the same sense as unitary evolution described by the Schr\"odinger…

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 build a quantum cellular automaton (QCA) which coincides with 1+1 QED on its known continuum limits. It consists in a circuit of unitary gates driving the evolution of particles on a one dimensional lattice, and having them interact with…

In this paper we introduce a new quantum computation model, the linear quantum cellular automaton. Well-formedness is an essential property for any quantum computing device since it enables us to define the probability of a configuration in…

In this paper, a different perspective of constructing the CA models is proposed. Its kernel, the Local Symmetric Distribution Principle, relates to some fundamental concepts in physics, which maybe raise a wide interest. With a rich…

Cellular automata are discrete dynamical systems and a model of computation. The limit set of a cellular automaton consists of the configurations having an infinite sequence of preimages. It is well known that these always contain a…

A cellular automaton with $n$ states may be used for construction of reversible second-order cellular automaton with $n^2$ states. Reversible cellular automata with hidden parameters discussed in this paper are generalization of such…

This article surveys some theoretical aspects of Cellular Automata (CAs) research. In particular, we discuss on maximal length CA. An n-cell CA is a maximal length CA, if all the configurations except one form a single cycle. There is a…

We classify quantum cellular automata whose cells are qubits, on hypercubic lattices $\mathbb Z^s$, with the von Neumann neighborhood scheme, in terms of realizability as finite-depth quantum circuits. We show the most general structure of…
