Foundations for near-term quantum natural language processing

B Coecke, G de Felice, K Meichanetzidis… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2020 - arxiv.org
We provide conceptual and mathematical foundations for near-term quantum natural
language processing (QNLP), and do so in quantum computer scientist friendly terms. We …

Two complete axiomatisations of pure-state qubit quantum computing

A Hadzihasanovic, KF Ng, Q Wang - … of the 33rd annual ACM/IEEE …, 2018 - dl.acm.org
Categorical quantum mechanics places finite-dimensional quantum theory in the context of
compact closed categories, with an emphasis on diagrammatic reasoning. In this framework …

Completeness for arbitrary finite dimensions of ZXW-calculus, a unifying calculus

B Poór, Q Wang, RA Shaikh, L Yeh… - 2023 38th Annual …, 2023 - ieeexplore.ieee.org

Complete ZX-calculi for the stabiliser fragment in odd prime dimensions

RI Booth, T Carette - arXiv preprint arXiv:2204.12531, 2022 - arxiv.org
We introduce a family of ZX-calculi which axiomatise the stabiliser fragment of quantum
theory in odd prime dimensions. These calculi recover many of the nice features of the qubit …

Q Wang - arXiv preprint arXiv:2104.06429, 2021 - arxiv.org
ZX-calculus is graphical language for quantum computing which usually focuses on qubits.
In this paper, we generalise qubit ZX-calculus to qudit ZX-calculus in any finite dimension by …

The Qudit ZH-Calculus: Generalised Toffoli+ Hadamard and Universality

P Roy, J van de Wetering, L Yeh - arXiv preprint arXiv:2307.10095, 2023 - arxiv.org
We introduce the qudit ZH-calculus and show how to generalise the phase-free qubit rules
to qudits. We prove that for prime dimensions $ d $, the phase-free qudit ZH-calculus is …

Scaling W state circuits in the qudit Clifford hierarchy

L Yeh - Companion Proceedings of the 7th International …, 2023 - dl.acm.org
We identify a novel qudit gate which we refer to as the gate. This is an alternate
generalization of the qutrit T gate to any odd prime dimension d, in the dth level of the …

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 …

Qutrit ZX-calculus is complete for Stabilizer Quantum Mechanics

Q Wang - arXiv preprint arXiv:1803.00696, 2018 - arxiv.org
In this paper, we show that a qutrit version of ZX-calculus, with rules significantly different
from that of the qubit version, is complete for pure qutrit stabilizer quantum mechanics …
