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…

A graphical diagnostic of topological order using ZX calculus

Sergi Mas-Mendoza, Richard D. P. East, Michele Filippone +1

Establishing a universal diagnostic of topological order remains an open theoretical challenge. In particular, diagnosing long-range entanglement through the entropic area law suff…

Symmetric derivatives of parametrized quantum circuits

David Wierichs, Richard D. P. East, Martín Larocca +2

Symmetries are crucial for tailoring parametrized quantum circuits to applications, due to their capability to capture the essence of physical systems. In this work, we shift the f…

All you need is spin: SU(2) equivariant variational quantum circuits based on spin networks

Richard D. P. East, Guillermo Alonso-Linaje, Chae-Yeun Park

Variational algorithms require architectures that naturally constrain the optimization space to run efficiently. Geometric quantum machine learning achieves this goal by encoding g…

Simple qudit ZX and ZH calculi, via integrals

Niel de Beaudrap, Richard D. P. East

The ZX calculus and ZH calculus use diagrams to denote and compute properties of quantum operations, using `rewrite rules' to transform between diagrams which denote the same opera…

Spin-networks in the ZX-calculus

Richard D. P. East, Pierre Martin-Dussaud, John Van de Wetering

The ZX-calculus, and the variant we consider in this paper (ZXH-calculus), are formal diagrammatic languages for qubit quantum computing. We show that it can also be used to descri…

AKLT-states as ZX-diagrams: diagrammatic reasoning for quantum states

Richard D. P. East, John van de Wetering, Nicholas Chancellor +1

From Feynman diagrams to tensor networks, diagrammatic representations of computations in quantum mechanics have catalysed progress in physics. These diagrams represent the underly…
