    "abstract": "A calculational framework is proposed for phylogenetics, using nonlocal\nquantum field theories in hypercubic geometry. Quadratic terms in the\nHamiltonian give the underlying Markov dynamics, while higher degree terms\nrepresent branching events. The spatial dimension L is the number of leaves of\nthe evolutionary tree under consideration. Momentum conservation modulo\n${\\mathbb Z}_{2}^{times L}$ in $L \\leftarrow 1$ scattering corresponds to tree\nedge labelling using binary L-vectors. The bilocal quadratic term allows for\nmomentum-dependent rate constants - only the tree(s) compatible with selected\nnonzero edge rates contribute to the branching probability distribution.\nApplications to models of evolutionary branching processes are discussed.",
