DisCoPy: the Hierarchy of Graphical Languages in Python

Alexis Toumi, Richie Yeung, Boldizsár Poór +1

DisCoPy is a Python toolkit for computing with monoidal categories. It comes with two flexible data structures for string diagrams: the first one for planar monoidal categories bas…

Higher-Order DisCoCat (Peirce-Lambek-Montague semantics)

Alexis Toumi, Giovanni de Felice

We propose a new definition of higher-order DisCoCat (categorical compositional distributional) models where the meaning of a word is not a diagram, but a diagram-valued higher-ord…

Light-Matter Interaction in the ZXW Calculus

Giovanni de Felice, Razin A. Shaikh, Boldizsár Poór +3

In this paper, we develop a graphical calculus to rewrite photonic circuits involving light-matter interactions and non-linear optical effects. We introduce the infinite ZW calculu…

Monoidal Streams for Dataflow Programming

Elena Di Lavore, Giovanni de Felice, Mario Román

We introduce monoidal streams: a generalization of causal stream functions to monoidal categories. In the same way that streams provide semantics to dataflow programming with pure…

How to make qubits speak

Bob Coecke, Giovanni de Felice, Konstantinos Meichanetzidis +1

This is a story about making quantum computers speak, and doing so in a quantum-native, compositional and meaning-aware manner. Recently we did question-answering with an actual qu…

Diagrammatic Differentiation for Quantum Machine Learning

Alexis Toumi, Richie Yeung, Giovanni de Felice

We introduce diagrammatic differentiation for tensor calculus by generalising the dual number construction from rigs to monoidal categories. Applying this to ZX diagrams, we show h…
