Abstract
	A reversible quantum cellular automata is an invertible quantum channel that acts on a countable set single cell systems arranged by a lattice. The automaton commute with the lattice translations and its restriction to a single cell only depends on the next neighbor cells. The talk is concerned with a special subclass of quantum cellular automata, the so called "Clifford quantum cellular automata". The system of each single cell can be described in terms of "discrete Weyl (displacement) operators" corresponding to translations in discrete phase space. Clifford quantum cellular automata assign to Weyl operators multiples of Weyl operators which implies that they are induced by symplectic transformations. It is discussed how to obtain a structural as well as a constructive characterization of all Clifford quantum cellular automata.
