Abstract
We study the dynamics of a bulk deterministic Floquet model, the Rule 201 synchronous one-dimensional reversible cellular automaton (RCA201). The system corresponds to a deterministic, reversible, and discrete version of the PXP model, whereby a site flips only if both its nearest neighbors are unexcited. We show that the RCA201 (Floquet-PXP) model exhibits ballistic propagation of interacting quasiparticles-or solitons-corresponding to the domain walls between nontrivial threefold vacuum states. Starting from the quasiparticle picture, we find the exact matrix product state form of the nonequilibrium stationary state for a range of boundary conditions, including both periodic and stochastic. We discuss further implications of the integrability of the model.
