We develop a rigorous topological theory of anomalies on the lattice, which are obstructions to gauging global symmetries and the existence of trivial symmetric states. We also construct $\Omega$-spectra of a class of invertible states and…

We propose a simple cellular automaton model of a self-healing system and investigate its properties. In the model, the substrate is a two-dimensional checkerboard configuration which can be damaged by changing values of a finite number of…
While the reversibility of multidimensional cellular automata is undecidable and there exists a criterion for determining if a multidimensional linear cellular automaton is reversible, there are only a few results about the reversibility…
In this paper we present a quantization of Cellular Automata. Our formalism is based on a lattice of qudits, and an update rule consisting of local unitary operators that commute with their own lattice translations. One purpose of this…
Models of areas of physics in terms of cellular automata have become increasingly popular. Cellular automata (CAs) support the modeling of systems with discrete state component values and enforce the comprehensive specification of the…
Cellular automata are one-dimensional arrays of interconnected interacting finite automata. We investigate one of the weakest classes, the real-time one-way cellular automata, and impose an additional restriction on their inter-cell…
This paper has been withdrawn by the authors due to a mistake in the proof and a corresponding incorrect result. A correct rigorous analysis of a similar model is presented in ``Spiral Model: a cellular automaton with a discontinuous glass…
The memristor is a device whose resistance changes depending on the polarity and magnitude of a voltage applied to the device's terminals. We design a minimalistic model of a regular network of memristors using structurally-dynamic cellular…

There exist f.g.-universal cellular automata groups which are quotients of $\mathbb{Z} * \mathbb{Z}_2$ or $\mathbb{Z}_2 * \mathbb{Z}_2 * \mathbb{Z}_2$, as previously conjectured by the author.
Since first introduced by John von Neumann, the notion of cellular automaton has grown into a key concept in computer science, physics and theoretical biology. In its classical setting, a cellular automaton is a transformation of the set of…
In this paper, we analyze the algebraic structure of some null boundary as well as some periodic boundary 2-D Cellular Automata (CA) rules by introducing a new matrix multiplication operation using only AND, OR instead of most commonly used…

Several proposed schemes for the physical realization of a quantum computer consist of qubits arranged in a cellular array. In the quantum circuit model of quantum computation, an often complex series of two-qubit gate operations is…
Take a cellular automaton, consider that each configuration is a basis vector in some vector space, and linearize the global evolution function. If lucky, the r esult could actually make sense physically, as a valid quantum evolution; but…

Cellular Automata have been used since their introduction as a discrete tool of modelization. In many of the physical processes one may modelize thus (such as bootstrap percolation, forest fire or epidemic propagation models, life without…

A cellular automaton collider is a finite state machine build of rings of one-dimensional cellular automata. We show how a computation can be performed on the collider by exploiting interactions between gliders (particles, localisations).…
