Modern quantum programming languages integrate quantum resources and classical control. They must, on the one hand, be linearly typed to reflect the no-cloning property of quantum resources. On the other hand, high-level and practical languages …
This thesis contains contributions to the mathematical foundations of quantum programming languages. The likely arrival of scalable quantum computers in the not so distant future has resulted in a flurry of activity in the development of quantum …
Modern quantum programming languages integrate quantum resources and classical control. They must, on the one hand, be linearly typed to reflect the no-cloning property of quantum resources. On the other hand, high-level and practical languages …
Finding a denotational semantics for higher order quantum computation is a long-standing problem in the semantics of quantum programming languages. Most past approaches to this problem fell short in one way or another, either limiting the language to …
Dagger compact closed categories were recently introduced by Abramsky and Coecke, under the name "strongly compact closed categories", as an axiomatic framework for quantum mechanics. We present a graphical language for dagger compact closed …
