Kindergarden quantum mechanics graduates (...or how I learned to stop gluing LEGO together and love the ZX-calculus)

no code implementations22 Feb 2021 Bob Coecke, Dominic Horsman, Aleks Kissinger, Quanlong Wang

This paper is a `spiritual child' of the 2005 lecture notes Kindergarten Quantum Mechanics, which showed how a simple, pictorial extension of Dirac notation allowed several quantum features to be easily expressed and derived, using language even a kindergartner can understand.

String Diagram Rewrite Theory I: Rewriting with Frobenius Structure

1 code implementation3 Dec 2020 Filippo Bonchi, Fabio Gadducci, Aleks Kissinger, Pawel Sobocinski, Fabio Zanasi

In the last part, we also see that the approach can be generalised to model rewriting modulo multiple Frobenius structures.

PyZX: Large Scale Automated Diagrammatic Reasoning

5 code implementations9 Apr 2019 Aleks Kissinger, John van de Wetering

The ZX-calculus is a graphical language for reasoning about ZX-diagrams, a tensor network-like language that can represent arbitrary linear maps between qubits.

Causal Inference by String Diagram Surgery

no code implementations20 Nov 2018 Bart Jacobs, Aleks Kissinger, Fabio Zanasi

We represent the effect of such an intervention as an endofunctor which performs `string diagram surgery' within the syntactic category of string diagrams.
