• Abstract: This study presents a unitary quantum cellular automaton (QCA) that, in the continuum limit, converges to the (1+1)-dimensional Generalized Dirac Equation (GDE). We outline the construction of the unitary, discrete-time evolution and derive the model's exact dispersion relation from its eigenvalue spectrum, showing it possesses the correct relativistic limit. We then explore its dynamics through numerical simulations. While the total probability density is shown to be insensitive to the chiral angle parameter $(\rho)$ of the GDE, we demonstrate that this parameter has a profound and directly observable effect on the particle's local spin polarization. By measuring this quantity, we reveal the hidden internal dynamics of the spinor, providing a clear, visual confirmation of the physical consequences of the chiral mass term.

  We investigate the properties of a quantum walk which can simulate the behavior of a spin $1/2$ particle in a model with an ordinary spatial dimension. In particular, we observe that the probability distribution becomes, at large time steps, concentrated near the "low energy" brane. In this way, we obtain a localization effect whose strength is controlled by a warp coefficient.
