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…
High schoolers excel at Oxford quantum course using pictorial mathematics
Bob Coecke, Aleks Kissinger, Stefano Gogioso +12
We are at the dawn of the second quantum revolution, where our ability to create and control individual quantum systems is poised to drive transformative advancements in basic scie…
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…
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…
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…
