A One-Dimensional Physically Universal Cellular Automaton
نویسندگان
چکیده
Physical universality of a cellular automaton was defined by Janzing in 2010 as the ability to implement an arbitrary transformation of spatial patterns. In 2014, Schaeffer gave a construction of a two-dimensional physically universal cellular automaton. We construct a one-dimensional version of the automaton.

Intrinsically universal one-dimensional quantum cellular automata
We give a one-dimensional quantum cellular automata (QCA) capable of simulating all others. By this we mean that the initial configuration and the local transition rule of any one-dimensional QCA can be encoded within the initial configuration of the universal QCA. Several steps of the universal QCA will then correspond to one step of the simulated QCA. The simulation preserves the topology in ...
متن کاملIntrinsically universal n-dimensional quantum cellular automata
We describe an n-dimensional quantum cellular automaton (QCA) capable of simulating all others, in that the initial configuration and the forward evolution of any n-dimensional QCA can be encoded within the initial configuration of the universal QCA. Several steps of the universal QCA then correspond to one step of the simulated QCA. The simulation preserves the topology in the sense that each ...

The existence of comput ation-universal one-dimensional cellular automata with seven stat es per cell for a tr ansition funct ion depending on the cell itself and its nearest neighbors (r = 1), and four states per cell for r = 2 (when next-nearest neighbors also are included) , is shown. It is also demonstr ated that a Turing machine with m tape symbols and n internal states can be simulated by...
متن کاملAbout the Universality of the Billiard ball model
Block cellular automata (BCA) make local, parallel, synchronous and uniform updates of innnite lattices. In the one-dimensional case, there exist BCA with 11 states which are universal for computation. The Billiard ball model of Margolus is a reversible two-dimensional BCA which is able to simulate any two-register automaton and is thus universal. This simulation is achieved by embedding a logi...
متن کاملA universal quantum cellular automaton
We will prove the existence of a universal quantum cellular automaton. Such qca are defined as the quantum-mechanical pendant of classical one-dimensional cellular automata. As is the case with quantum Turing machines, the well-formedness restriction plays an important role. It will be shown that every proper qca obeys a local constraint which is comparable with the ‘inverse neighborhood’ of cl...
