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

B Coecke, D Horsman, A Kissinger, Q Wang - Theoretical Computer …, 2022 - Elsevier
This paper is a 'spiritual child'of the 2005 lecture notes Kindergarten Quantum Mechanics
Coecke (2005)[24], which showed how a simple, pictorial extension of Dirac notation …

Interacting frobenius algebras are hopf

R Duncan, K Dunne - Proceedings of the 31st Annual ACM/IEEE …, 2016 - dl.acm.org
Theories featuring the interaction between a Frobenius algebra and a Hopf algebra have
recently appeared in several areas in computer science: concurrent programming, control …

Time symmetry in quantum theories and beyond

JH Selby, ME Stasinou, S Gogioso… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
There is a stark tension among different formulations of quantum theory in that some are
fundamentally time-symmetric and others are radically time-asymmetric. This tension is …

Generalised Mermin-type non-locality arguments

S Gogioso, W Zeng - Logical Methods in Computer Science, 2019 - lmcs.episciences.org
We broadly generalise Mermin-type arguments on GHZ states, and we provide exact group-
theoretic conditions for non-locality to be achieved. Our results are of interest in quantum …

Quantum and braided ZX calculus

S Majid - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We apply quantum group methods to quantum computing, starting with the notion of
interacting Frobenius Hopf algebras for ZX calculus with noncommutative algebra and …

Fantastic quantum theories and where to find them

S Gogioso - arXiv preprint arXiv:1703.10576, 2017 - arxiv.org
We present a uniform framework for the treatment of a large class of toy models of quantum
theory. Specifically, we will be interested in theories of wavefunctions valued in commutative …

Mermin non-locality in abstract process theories

S Gogioso, W Zeng - arXiv preprint arXiv:1506.02675, 2015 - arxiv.org
The study of non-locality is fundamental to the understanding of quantum mechanics. The
past 50 years have seen a number of non-locality proofs, but its fundamental building …

Categorical Semantics for Schr\" odinger's Equation

S Gogioso - arXiv preprint arXiv:1501.06489, 2015 - arxiv.org
Applying ideas from monadic dynamics to the well-established framework of categorical
quantum mechanics, we provide a novel toolbox for the simulation of finite-dimensional …

A bestiary of sets and relations

S Gogioso - arXiv preprint arXiv:1506.05025, 2015 - arxiv.org
Building on established literature and recent developments in the graph-theoretic
characterisation of its CPM category, we provide a treatment of pure state and mixed state …

CPM Categories for Galois Extensions

J Hefford, S Gogioso - arXiv preprint arXiv:2106.01209, 2021 - arxiv.org
By considering a generalisation of the CPM construction, we develop an infinite hierarchy of
probabilistic theories, exhibiting compositional decoherence structures which generalise the …
