• Abstract summary: Quantum walks on lattices can give rise to one-particle relativistic wave equations in the long-wavelength limit. We show that a method of construction employing distinguishable particles confined to the completely antisymmetric subspace yields a QCA in two spatial dimensions that gives rise to the 2D Dirac QFT.

• Abstract: Quantum walks on lattices can give rise to one-particle relativistic wave equations in the long-wavelength limit. In going to multiple particles, quantum cellular automata (QCA) are natural generalizations of quantum walks. In one spatial dimension, the quantum walk can be "promoted" to a QCA that, in the long-wavelength limit, gives rise to the Dirac quantum field theory (QFT) for noninteracting fermions. This QCA/QFT correspondence has both theoretical and practical applications, but there are obstacles to similar constructions in two or more spatial dimensions. Here we show that a method of construction employing distinguishable particles confined to the completely antisymmetric subspace yields a QCA in two spatial dimensions that gives rise to the 2D Dirac QFT. Generalizing to 3D will entail some additional complications, but no conceptual barriers. We examine how this construction evades the "no go" results in earlier work.

  We investigate the completion of a nonadiabatic evolution into a shortcut to adiabaticity for a quantum field confined within a one-dimensional cavity containing two movable mirrors. We achieve a smooth extension of the Moore functions that implements the STA. We draw attention to the existence of a comparable problem within nonrelativistic quantum mechanics.

  Quantum Walks (QWs) consist of single and isolated quantum systems evolving in discrete or continuous time steps. Plastic QWs are those ones admitting both continuous time-discrete space and continuous spacetime time limit. We show that such QWs can be used to quantum simulate a large class of physical phenomena described by transport equations.

We then show that a single bosonic atom can mediate an effective Coulomb repulsion between two fermions, leading to the analog of molecular Hydrogen in two dimensions.
