A discrete relativistic spacetime formalism for 1 + 1-QED with continuum limits

Abstract We build a quantum cellular automaton (QCA) which coincides with $$1+1$$ 1 + 1 QED on its known continuum limits. It consists in a circuit of unitary gates driving the evolution of particles on a one dimensional lattice, and having them interact with the gauge field on the links. The partic...
