Dagger Compact Closed Categories and Completely Positive Maps: (Extended Abstract)
  • P. Selinger
  • Computer Science, Mathematics
  • Electron. Notes Theor. Comput. Sci.
  • 1 March 2007
TLDR
We give a general construction, the CPM construction, which associates to each dagger compact closed category its ''category of completely positive maps'', and a proof of its completeness for equational reasoning. Expand

Towards a quantum programming language
  • P. Selinger
  • Computer Science
  • Math. Struct. Comput. Sci.
  • 1 August 2004
TLDR
In this paper, we describe the syntax and semantics of a simple quantum programming language with high-level features such as loops, recursive procedures, and structured data types. Expand

A Survey of Graphical Languages for Monoidal Categories
This article is intended as a reference guide to various notions of monoidal categories and their associated string diagrams. It is hoped that this will be useful not just to mathematicians, but also… Expand

Control categories and duality: on the categorical semantics of the lambda-mu calculus
  • P. Selinger
  • Mathematics, Computer Science
  • Math. Struct. Comput. Sci.
  • 1 April 2001
TLDR
We give a categorical semantics to the call- by-name and call-by-value versions of Parigot's λμ-calculus with disjunction types. Expand

Quipper: a scalable quantum programming language
TLDR
We introduce Quipper, a scalable, expressive, functional, higher-order quantum programming language that can program a diverse set of non-trivial quantum algorithms. Expand

Exact synthesis of multi-qubit Clifford+T circuits
TLDR
We prove that a unitary matrix has an exact representation over the Clifford+T gate set with local ancillas if and only if its entries are in the ring Z[1/sqrt(2),i]. Expand

Efficient Clifford+T approximation of single-qubit operators
  • P. Selinger
  • Mathematics, Physics
  • Quantum Inf. Comput.
  • 26 December 2012
TLDR
We give an efficient randomized algorithm for approximating an arbitrary element of SU(2) by a product of Clifford+T gates, up to arbitrarily small ε. Expand

A Lambda Calculus for Quantum Computation with Classical Control
TLDR
We develop a lambda calculus for the classical control model, following the first author's work on quantum flow-charts. Expand

Towards a semantics for higher-order quantum computation
The search for a semantics for higher-order quantum computation leads naturally to the study of categories of normed cones. In the first part of this paper, we develop the theory of continuous normed… Expand
