Abstract
Quantum walks on lattices can give rise to relativistic wave equations in the long-wavelength limit, but going beyond the single-particle case has proven challenging, especially in more than one spatial dimension. We construct quantum cellular automata for distinguishable particles based on two different quantum walks, and show that by restricting to the antisymmetric and symmetric subspaces, respectively, a multiparticle theory for free fermions and bosons in three spatial dimensions can be produced. This construction evades a no-go theorem that prohibits the usual fermionization constructions in more than one spatial dimension. In the long-wavelength limit, these recover Dirac field theory and Maxwell field theory, i.e., free QED.
