mathematical prerequisites ranging from complex numbers and probability theory to matrix …

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

Differentiating and integrating ZX diagrams with applications to quantum machine learning

Q Wang, R Yeung, M Koch - Quantum, 2024 - quantum-journal.org
ZX-calculus has proved to be a useful tool for quantum technology with a wide range of
successful applications. Most of these applications are of an algebraic nature. However …

Categorical probabilistic theories

S Gogioso, CM Scandolo - arXiv preprint arXiv:1701.08075, 2017 - arxiv.org
We present a simple categorical framework for the treatment of probabilistic theories, with
the aim of reconciling the fields of Categorical Quantum Mechanics (CQM) and Operational …

Randomness versus nonlocality in the Mermin-Bell experiment with three parties

E Woodhead, B Bourdoncle, A Acín - Quantum, 2018 - quantum-journal.org
The detection of nonlocal correlations in a Bell experiment implies almost by definition some
intrinsic randomness in the measurement outcomes. For given correlations, or for a given …

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 …

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 …
