A dataflow programming framework for linear optical distributed quantum computing

Giovanni de Felice, Boldizsár Poór, Cole Comfort +4

Photonic systems offer a promising platform for interconnecting quantum processors and enabling scalable, networked architectures. Designing and verifying such architectures requir…

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…

Quantum Concept Music Score from Quantum Picturalism: Musical Incarnation of a Bell-Pair under Measurements

Rakhat-Bi Abdyssagin, Bob Coecke

We initiate the development of a new language and theory for quantum music, to which we refer as Quantum Concept Music (QCM). This new music formalism is based on Categorical Quant…

A Quantum Guitar

Bob Coecke

A guitar string represents a wave, and by associating a qubit to each of its playable states we get a quantum wave. This is the principle behind our Quantum Guitar: `quantising all…

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…

Constructor Theory as Process Theory

Stefano Gogioso, Vincent Wang-Maścianica, Muhammad Hamza Waseem +2

Constructor theory is a meta-theoretic approach that seeks to characterise concrete theories of physics in terms of the (im)possibility to implement certain abstract "tasks" by mea…
