Abstract:

In this talk, we will go through the basics of graphical languages for quantum computation, their advantages and uses, and the two main traditions of such languages:

(1) Tensorial languages, such as quantum circuits and the ZX-calculus, in which computations relying on quantum entanglement are easy to represent.
(2) Additive languages, such as graphical linear optic and the LOv-calculus, in which computations relying on quantum control are easy to represent.
Then we will explore some recent attempts at unifying both traditions, and the advantages and disadvantages of the various methods.
