Transversal AND in Quantum Codes

Christine Li, Lia Yeh

The AND gate is not reversible$\unicode{x2014}$on qubits. However, it is reversible on qutrits, making it a building block for efficient simulation of qubit computation using qutri…

Algebraic Structure of Quantum Controlled States and Operators

Edwin Agnew, Lia Yeh, Richie Yeung

Quantum control is an important logical primitive of quantum computing programs, and an important concept for equational reasoning in quantum graphical calculi. We show that contro…

Beyond Penrose tensor diagrams with the ZX calculus: Applications to quantum computing, quantum machine learning, condensed matter physics, and quantum gravity

Quanlong Wang, Richard D. P. East, Razin A. Shaikh +3

We introduce the Spin-ZX calculus as an elevation of Penrose's diagrams and associated binor calculus to the level of a formal diagrammatic language. The power of doing so is illus…

Making the quantum world accessible to young learners through Quantum Picturalism: An experimental study

Selma Dündar-Coecke, Caterina Puca, Lia Yeh +12

The educational value of a fully diagrammatic approach in a scientific field has never been explored. We present Quantum Picturalism (QPic), an entirely diagrammatic formalism for…

The Focked-up ZX Calculus: Picturing Continuous-Variable Quantum Computation

Razin A. Shaikh, Lia Yeh, Stefano Gogioso

While the ZX and ZW calculi have been effective as graphical reasoning tools for finite-dimensional quantum computation, the possibilities for continuous-variable quantum computati…
