Premonoidal Semantics and Scalable Diagrammatics of Fermionic Quantum Computing

Thomas Perez, Titouan Carette

Local fermionic mode (LFM) based quantum computation has pure state spaces that are isomorphic, via the Jordan-Wigner representation, to qubit state spaces, but its compositional s…

The decohered ZX-calculus

Titouan Carette, Daniela Cojocaru, Renaud Vilmart

The discard ZX-calculus is known to be complete and universal for mixed-state quantum mechanics, allowing for both quantum and classical processes. However, if the quantum aspects…

Complete Compositional Syntax for Finite Transducers on Finite and Bi-Infinite Words

Titouan Carette, Marc de Visme, Vivien Ducros +2

Minimizing finite automata, proving trace equivalence of labelled transition systems or representing sofic subshifts involve very similar arguments, which suggests the possibility…

Complete equational theories for classical and quantum Gaussian relations

Robert I. Booth, Titouan Carette, Cole Comfort

We give generators and relations for the hypergraph props of Gaussian relations and positive affine Lagrangian relations. The former extends Gaussian probabilistic processes by com…

Graphical Symplectic Algebra

Robert I. Booth, Titouan Carette, Cole Comfort

We give complete presentations for the dagger-compact props of affine Lagrangian and coisotropic relations over an arbitrary field. This provides a unified family of graphical lang…

The Qupit Stabiliser ZX-travaganza: Simplified Axioms, Normal Forms and Graph-Theoretic Simplification

Boldizsár Poór, Robert I. Booth, Titouan Carette +2

We present a smorgasbord of results on the stabiliser ZX-calculus for odd prime-dimensional qudits (i.e. qupits). We derive a simplified rule set that closely resembles the origina…

Operational Quantum Reference Frame Transformations

Titouan Carette, Jan Głowacki, Leon Loveridge

Quantum reference frames are needed in quantum theory for much the same reasons that reference frames are in classical theories: to manifest invariance in line with fundamental rel…

Compositionality of planar perfect matchings

Titouan Carette, Etienne Moutot, Thomas Perez +1

We exhibit a strong connection between the matchgate formalism introduced by Valiant and the ZW-calculus of Coecke and Kissinger. This connection provides a natural compositional f…

Aperiodicity in Quantum Wang Tilings

Titouan Carette, Etienne Moutot

By reformulating Wang tiles with tensors, we propose a natural generalization to the probabilistic and quantum setting. In this new framework, we introduce notions of tilings and p…

Complete Graphical Language for Hermiticity-Preserving Superoperators

Titouan Carette, Timothée Hoffreumon, Émile Larroque +1

Universal and complete graphical languages have been successfully designed for pure state quantum mechanics, corresponding to linear maps between Hilbert spaces, and mixed states q…

Central Submonads and Notions of Computation: Soundness, Completeness and Internal Languages

TItouan Carette, Louis Lemonnier, Vladimir Zamdzhiev

Monads in category theory are algebraic structures that can be used to model computational effects in programming languages. We show how the notion of "centre", and more generally…

Propification and the Scalable Comonad

Titouan Carette

String diagrams can nicely express numerous computations in symmetric strict monoidal categories (SSMC). To be entirely exact, this is only true for props: the SSMCs whose monoid o…

Large-scale quantum diagrammatic reasoning tools, !-boxes vs. scalable notations

Titouan Carette, Louis Lemonnier

The application of diagrammatic reasoning techniques to large-scale quantum processes needs specific tools to describe families of diagrams of arbitrary size. For now, large-scale…

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

Robert I. Booth, Titouan Carette

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…

Fact-nets: towards a mathematical framework for relational quantum mechanics

Pierre Martin-Dussaud, Titouan Carette, Jan Głowacki +2

The relational interpretation of quantum mechanics (RQM) has received a growing interest since its first formulation in 1996. Usually presented as an interpretational layer over th…

Quantum Algorithms and Oracles with the Scalable ZX-calculus

Titouan Carette, Yohann D'Anello, Simon Perdrix

The ZX-calculus was introduced as a graphical language able to represent specific quantum primitives in an intuitive way. The recent completeness results have shown the theoretical…

When Only Topology Matters

Titouan Carette

Graphical languages are symmetric monoidal categories presented by generators and equations. The string diagrams notation allows to transform numerous axioms into low dimension top…

Graphical Language with Delayed Trace: Picturing Quantum Computing with Finite Memory

Titouan Carette, Marc de Visme, Simon Perdrix

Graphical languages, like quantum circuits or ZX-calculus, have been successfully designed to represent (memoryless) quantum computations acting on a finite number of qubits. Meanw…

On a recipe for quantum graphical languages

Titouan Carette, Emmanuel Jeandel

Different graphical calculi have been proposed to represent quantum computation. First the ZX- calculus [4], followed by the ZW-calculus [12] and then the ZH-calculus [1]. We can w…
