We construct a novel three-dimensional quantum cellular automaton (QCA) based on a system with short-range entangled bulk and chiral semion boundary topological order. We argue that either the QCA is nontrivial, i.e. not a finite-depth…

We introduce an efficient cellular automaton for the coagulation-fission process with diffusion 2A->3A, 2A->A in arbitrary dimensions. As the well-known Domany-Kinzel model, it is defined on a tilted hypercubic lattice and evolves by…
We study some dynamical properties of a family of two-dimensional cellular automata: those that arise from an underlying one dimensional sand automaton whose local rule is obtained using a latin square. We identify a simple sand automaton G…

A one-dimensional two-state number-conserving cellular automaton (NCCA) is a cellular automaton whose states are 0 or 1 and where cells take states 0 and 1 and updated their states by the rule which keeps overall sum of states constant. It…

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 three spatial dimensions, communication channels are free to pass over or under each other so as to cross without intersecting; in two dimensions, assuming channels of strictly positive thickness, this is not the case. It is natural,…
The critical behavior at the frozen/active transition in the Domany-Kinzel stochastic cellular automaton (DKCA) is studied {\it via} a surface growth process in (1+1) dimensions. At criticality, this process presents a kinetic roughening…

Finite cellular automata (FCA) are widely used in simulating nonlinear complex systems, and their reversibility is closely related to information loss during the evolution. However, only a relatively small portion of their reversibility…

We show that the set of strictly temporally periodic points of cellular automata with almost equicontinuous points is dense in the topological support of the measure. This extends a result of Lena, Margara and Dennunzio about the density of…
In this paper, linear Cellular Automta (CA) rules are recursively generated using a binary tree rooted at "0". Some mathematical results on linear as well as non-linear CA rules are derived. Integers associated with linear CA rules are…
The complexity of cellular automata is traditionally measured by their computational capacity. However, it is difficult to choose a challenging set of computational tasks suitable for the parallel nature of such systems. We study the…
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,…
Classical Cellular Automata (CCAs) are a powerful computational framework widely used to model complex systems driven by local interactions. Their simplicity lies in the use of a finite set of states and a uniform local rule, yet this…
