The Dirac Quantum Automaton: a preview

Understand

Quantum Information and the new informational paradigm are entering the domain of quantum field theory and gravity, suggesting the quantum automata framework.

• The quantum automaton is the minimal-assumption extension to the Planck and ultrarelativistic scales of quantum field theory.
• It can describe localized states and measurements, which are unmanageable by quantum field theory.
• The automaton theory is a very promising framework for quantum gravity, since it is quantum ab-initio, with relativistic covariance as emergent and not assumed a priori, it is free from all the problems arising from the continuum, it doesn't suffer violations of causality, and has no divergences.
