Toy quantum categories
Bob Coecke, Bill Edwards
We show that Rob Spekken's toy quantum theory arises as an instance of our categorical approach to quantum axiomatics, as a (proper) subcategory of the dagger compact category FRel…
Introducing categories to the practicing physicist
Bob Coecke
We argue that category theory should become a part of the daily practice of the physicist, and more specific, the quantum physicist and/or informatician. The reason for this is not…
Bases in diagrammatic quantum protocols
Bob Coecke, Eric Oliver Paquette, Simon Perdrix
This paper contains two new results: 1. We amend the notion of abstract basis in a dagger symmetric monoidal category, as well as its corresponding graphical representation, in ord…
Categorical quantum mechanics
Samson Abramsky, Bob Coecke
This invited chapter in the Handbook of Quantum Logic and Quantum Structures consists of two parts: 1. A substantially updated version of quant-ph/0402130 by the same authors, whic…
