Fermionic cellular automata in one dimension

The study classifies Fermionic Cellular Automata (FCAs) based on stable equivalence, a weaker notion than standard equivalence. The key finding is that two distinct FCAs are stably equivalent if they have the same index. This classification reveals that some FCAs cannot be simulated by simple single-mode gates and controlled-phase gates, unlike qubit cellular automata.
