Quantum cellular automata can thermalize. Here we prove that there exist classes of quantum cellular automata which do not fully thermalize and break the ergodic hypothesis, leaving parts of the Hilbert space topologically protected. This paves the way to use such systems as fault-resistant quantum computers.

Nathanaël Eon (2019–2022, AMU, 50%, co-directed with Pablo Arrighi) on Gauge-invariant quantum cellular automata now on a humanitarian mission

Gauge invariance is an internal symmetry well known in physics. All fundamental laws are derived from a gauge principle. Here we define gauge invariant classical and quantum cellular automata for simulating real systems.

Ivan Marquez (2017–2019, AMU & Univ. de Valencia, Spain, 50%, co-supervised with Armando Perez) on Quantum walks: background geometry and gauge invariance. Now cybersecurity consultant at Evolution Empowering the Cloud in Madrid

Quantum walks can simulate curved propagation. Here we investigate the formal connections between general covariance, the first principle for general relativity, and quantum walk, seen as finite quantum circuits.
