A review of quantum cellular automata

T Farrelly - Quantum, 2020 - quantum-journal.org
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 …

Quantum walks and Dirac cellular automata on a programmable trapped-ion quantum computer

C Huerta Alderete, S Singh, NH Nguyen, D Zhu… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
The quantum walk formalism is a widely used and highly successful framework for modeling
quantum systems, such as simulations of the Dirac equation, different dynamics in both the …

Continuous limits of linear and nonlinear quantum walks

M Maeda, A Suzuki - Reviews in Mathematical Physics, 2020 - World Scientific
In this paper, we consider the continuous limit of a nonlinear quantum walk (NLQW) that
incorporates a linear quantum walk as a special case. In particular, we rigorously prove that …

Quantum walks as simulators of neutrino oscillations in a vacuum and matter

G Di Molfetta, A Pérez - New Journal of Physics, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We analyze the simulation of Dirac neutrino oscillations using quantum walks, both in a
vacuum and in matter. We show that this simulation, in the continuum limit, reproduces a set …

Quantum walks in artificial electric and gravitational fields

G Di Molfetta, M Brachet, F Debbasch - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics …, 2014 - Elsevier
The continuous limit of quantum walks (QWs) on the line is revisited through a new, recently
developed method. In all cases but one, the limit coincides with the dynamics of a Dirac …

Quantum walks and non-Abelian discrete gauge theory

P Arnault, G Di Molfetta, M Brachet, F Debbasch - Physical Review A, 2016 - APS
A family of discrete-time quantum walks (DTQWs) on the line with an exact discrete U (N)
gauge invariance is introduced. It is shown that the continuous limit of these DTQWs, when it …

Quantum walks and discrete gauge theories

P Arnault, F Debbasch - Physical Review A, 2016 - APS
A particular example is produced to prove that quantum walks can be used to simulate full-
fledged discrete gauge theories. A family of two-dimensional walks is introduced and its …

Quantum simulations of hydrodynamics via the Madelung transformation

J Zylberman, G Di Molfetta, M Brachet, NF Loureiro… - Physical Review A, 2022 - APS
Developing numerical methods to simulate efficiently nonlinear fluid dynamics on universal
quantum computers is a challenging problem. In this paper, a generalization of the …

Quantum walking in curved spacetime

P Arrighi, S Facchini, M Forets - Quantum Information Processing, 2016 - Springer
A discrete-time quantum walk (QW) is essentially a unitary operator driving the evolution of a
single particle on the lattice. Some QWs admit a continuum limit, leading to familiar PDEs …

Algorithm for the solution of the Dirac equation on digital quantum computers

F Fillion-Gourdeau, S MacLean, R Laflamme - Physical Review A, 2017 - APS
A quantum algorithm that solves the time-dependent Dirac equation on a digital quantum
computer is developed and analyzed. The time evolution is performed by an operator …
