Abstract

We show how to construct quantum cellular automata (QCA) based on the formalism introduced by Watrous but without that formalism's "quiescent states," by using shift-invariant Lebesgue measure on Cantor space. Although QCA's with quiescent states are strictly sufficient for computational purposes, removing quiescent states as a requirement allows global QCA states with infinite support that allows the state space of the QCA to be identified with the class of interpretations of logic-based formalism in a formal methods approach to proving the correctness correctness of QCAs with respect to formal specifications.
