A quantum cellular automaton for one-dimensional QED

P Arrighi, C Bény, T Farrelly - Quantum Information Processing, 2020 - Springer
We propose a discrete spacetime formulation of quantum electrodynamics in one dimension
(aka the Schwinger model) in terms of quantum cellular automata, ie translationally invariant …

Electromagnetic lattice gauge invariance in two-dimensional discrete-time quantum walks

I Márquez-Martín, P Arnault, G Di Molfetta, A Pérez - Physical Review A, 2018 - APS
Gauge invariance is one of the more important concepts in physics. We discuss this concept
in connection with the unitary evolution of discrete-time quantum walks in one and two …

A relativistic discrete spacetime formulation of 3+ 1 QED

N Eon, G Di Molfetta, G Magnifico, P Arrighi - Quantum, 2023 - quantum-journal.org
This work provides a relativistic, digital quantum simulation scheme for both $2+ 1$ and $3+

A discrete relativistic spacetime formalism for 1+ 1-QED with continuum limits

K Sellapillay, P Arrighi, G Di Molfetta - Scientific Reports, 2022 - nature.com
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 …
