We prove a conjecture by DiVincenzo, which in the terminology of Preskill et al. [quant-ph/0102043] states that ``semicausal operations are semilocalizable''. That is, we show that any operation on the combined system of Alice and Bob, which does not allow Bob to send messages to Alice, can be represented as an operation by Alice, transmitting a quantum particle to Bob, and a local operation by Bob. The proof is based on the uniqueness of the Stinespring representation for a completely positive map. We sketch some of the problems in transferring these concepts to the context of relativistic quantum field theory.

  1. Causal Decompositions of 1D Quantum Cellular Automata

    quant-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    For N > 4r, every 1D quantum cellular automaton of causality radius r is exactly a routed unitary circuit of nearest-neighbour interactions, and translation-invariant automata get translation-invariant circuits.

  2. Sequential quantum processes with group symmetries

    quant-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A canonical streaming circuit decomposition for (G×H)-invariant quantum combs is derived, and numerical optimization suggests a deterministic 7-query transposition protocol for qutrits that is reported as exact.
