• Abstract: We introduce and study (fermionic and bosonic) invertible quasi-local algebras over uniformly locally finite metric spaces $X$ with infinite-dimensional local von Neumann algebras. We show that the group of Brauer equivalence classes of such algebras is isomorphic to both the group of phases of invertible states and the group of stable equivalence classes of quantum cellular automata over $X\times \mathbb{Z}$. Using K-theory of the symmetric monoidal category of invertible quasi-local algebras and bounded spread isomorphisms, we propose a definition of an $Ω$-spectrum of invertible phases as conjectured by Kitaev. We then show that the $c=\frac{1}{2}$ chiral Majorana fermion net and the $(E_{8})_{1}$ conformal net provide Brauer non-trivial invertible quasi-local algebras, thus providing explicit constructions of non-trivial invertible states and quantum cellular automata on $\mathbb{Z}^{2}$. In addition, we show that the time-slice nets of rational diagonal conformal field theories admit lattice degrees of freedom, which implies the discretization of any holomorphic conformal net is invertible.

  We classify automorphisms on quantum chains, allowing both spin and fermionic degrees of freedom, that are equivariant with respect to a local symmetry action of a finite symmetry group $G$.

• Sub-bosonic (deformed) ladder operators [62.997667081978825]
  We present a class of deformed creation and annihilation operators that originates from a rigorous notion of fuzziness. This leads to deformed, sub-bosonic commutation relations inducing a simple algebraic structure with modified eigenenergies and Fock states. In addition, we investigate possible consequences of the introduced formalism in quantum field theories, as for instance, deviations from linearity in the dispersion relation for free quasibosons.
