Abstract

In order to predict the future state of a quantum system, we generally do not need to know the past state of the entire universe, but only the state of a finite neighborhood of the system. This locality is best expressed as a restriction on how information "flows" between systems. In this talk I will describe some recent work, inspired by quantum cellular automata, about the information strucutre of local quantum dynamics. Issues to be discussed include the definition of "locality", some characterization theorems, connections between classical and quantum locality for reversible maps, the relation between local and global dynamics, and the dissection of CNOT.
