The creation of specified quantum states is important for most, if not all, applications in quantum computation and communication. The quality of the state preparation is therefore an essential ingredient in any assessment of a quantum-state gun. W...
We reproduce apparently complex cellular automaton behaviour with simple partial differential equations as developed in (Keane 09). Our PDE model easily explains behaviour observed in selected scenarios of the cellular automaton wargame ISAAC witho...
