It has been shown that the dynamics of discrete (integer-valued) Hamiltonian cellular automata can only be defined consistently, if it is linear in analogy to the linearity of unitary evolution in quantum mechanics. This suggests to look for an invertible map between such automata and continuous quantum mechanical models. Based on sampling theory, such a map can indeed be constructed and leads...

1. High sensitivity tests of the Pauli Exclusion Principle with VIP2

The Pauli Exclusion Principle (PEP) is one of the most fundamental rules of nature and thus a major pillar of modern physics. According to many observations PEP must be extremely well fulfilled. Nevertheless numerous experimental investigations were performed to search for a small PEP violation. The experiment VIP2 at the Gran Sasso underground laboratory is designed to test the Pauli...
