\u201cZX calculus\u201d<\/p>\n
Abstract: Several quintessentially quantum notions, such as no-cloning, no-deleting, as well as classical and complementary structures can be made precise in the categorical approach to quantum mechanics. The so-called ZX calculus consists of two complementary classical structures on an underlying object in a compact dagger category. Many quantum gates used in quantum computation have natural representations in the ZX-calculus. In this talk we will give the main definition of the ZX-calculus and highlight interesting aspects of the formalism; e.g., ZX-calculus is sound and (approximately) universal for quantum computation. Time permitting, we will make connections to the measurement-based model of quantum computation.<\/p>\n
