Optyx: A ZX-based Python library for networked quantum architectures

Mateusz Kupper, Richie Yeung, Boldizsár Poór +3

Distributed, large-scale quantum computing will need architectures that combine matter-based qubits with photonic links, but today's software stacks target either gate-based chips…

Speedy Contraction of ZX Diagrams with Triangles via Stabiliser Decompositions

Mark Koch, Richie Yeung, Quanlong Wang

Recent advances in classical simulation of Clifford+T circuits make use of the ZX calculus to iteratively decompose and simplify magic states into stabiliser terms. We improve on t…

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

Boldizsár Poór, Quanlong Wang, Razin A. Shaikh +3

The ZX-calculus is a universal graphical language for qubit quantum computation, meaning that every linear map between qubits can be expressed in the ZX-calculus. Furthermore, it i…

How to Sum and Exponentiate Hamiltonians in ZXW Calculus

Razin A. Shaikh, Quanlong Wang, Richie Yeung

This paper develops practical summation techniques in ZXW calculus to reason about quantum dynamics, such as unitary time evolution. First we give a direct representation of a wide…
