Finding a ground state of a given Hamiltonian on a graph $G=(V,E)$ is an important but hard problem. One of the potential methods is to use a Markov chain Monte Carlo to sample the Gibbs distribution whose highest peaks correspond to the ground states. In this short paper, we investigate the stochastic cellular automata, in which all spins are updated independently and simultaneously. We prove that (i) if the temperature is sufficiently high and fixed, then the mixing time is at most of order $log|V|$, and that (ii) if the temperature drops in time $n$ as $1/log n$, then the limiting measure is uniformly distributed over the ground states.

Finding a ground state of a given Hamiltonian is an important but hard problem. One of the potential methods is to use a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) to sample the Gibbs distribution whose highest peaks correspond to the ground states. In this sho
rt paper, we use stochastic cellular automata (SCA) and see if it is possible to find a ground state faster than the conventional MCMCs, such as the Glauber dynamics. We show that, if the temperature is sufficiently high, it is possible for SCA to have more spin-flips per update in average than Glauber and, at the same time, to have an equilibrium distribution ``close to the one for Glauber, i.e., the Gibbs distribution. During the course, we also propose a new way to characterize how close a probability measure is to the target Gibbs.
There exists an index theory to classify strictly local quantum cellular automata in one dimension. We consider two classification questions. First, we study to what extent this index theory can be applied in higher dimensions via dimensional reducti
on, finding a classification by the first homology group of the manifold modulo torsion. Second, in two dimensions, we show that an extension of this index theory (including torsion) fully classifies quantum cellular automata, at least in the absence of fermionic degrees of freedom. This complete classification in one and two dimensions by index theory is not expected to extend to higher dimensions due to recent evidence of a nontrivial automaton in three dimensions. Finally, we discuss some group theoretical aspects of the classification of quantum cellular automata and consider these automata on higher dimensional real projective spaces.
We consider the group structure of quantum cellular automata (QCA) modulo circuits and show that it is abelian even without assuming the presence of ancillas, at least for most reasonable choices of control space; this is a corollary of a general met
hod of ancilla removal. Further, we show how to define a group of QCA that is well-defined without needing to use families, by showing how to construct a coherent family containing an arbitrary finite QCA; the coherent family consists of QCA on progressively finer systems of qudits where any two members are related by a shallow quantum circuit. This construction applied to translation invariant QCA shows that all translation invariant QCA in three dimensions and all translation invariant Clifford QCA in any dimension are coherent.
We study matrix product unitary operators (MPUs) for fermionic one-dimensional (1D) chains. In stark contrast with the case of 1D qudit systems, we show that (i) fermionic MPUs do not necessarily feature a strict causal cone and (ii) not all fermioni
c Quantum Cellular Automata (QCA) can be represented as fermionic MPUs. We then introduce a natural generalization of the latter, obtained by allowing for an additional operator acting on their auxiliary space. We characterize a family of such generalized MPUs that are locality-preserving, and show that, up to appending inert ancillary fermionic degrees of freedom, any representative of this family is a fermionic QCA and viceversa. Finally, we prove an index theorem for generalized MPUs, recovering the recently derived classification of fermionic QCA in one dimension. As a technical tool for our analysis, we also introduce a graded canonical form for fermionic matrix product states, proving its uniqueness up to similarity transformations.
For critical bond-percolation on high-dimensional torus, this paper proves sharp lower bounds on the size of the largest cluster, removing a logarithmic correction in the lower bound in Heydenreich and van der Hofstad (2007). This improvement finally
settles a conjecture by Aizenman (1997) about the role of boundary conditions in critical high-dimensional percolation, and it is a key step in deriving further properties of critical percolation on the torus. Indeed, a criterion of Nachmias and Peres (2008) implies appropriate bounds on diameter and mixing time of the largest clusters. We further prove that the volume bounds apply also to any finite number of the largest clusters. The main conclusion of the paper is that the behavior of critical percolation on the high-dimensional torus is the same as for critical Erdos-Renyi random graphs. In this updated version we incorporate an erratum to be published in a forthcoming issue of Probab. Theory Relat. Fields. This results in a modification of Theorem 1.2 as well as Proposition 3.1.
