Abstract
AbstractWe build on the series of work by Dal Lago and coauthors and identify proof nets (of linear logic) as higher-order quantum circuits. By accommodating quantum measurement using additive slices, we obtain a comprehensive framework for programming and interpreting quantum computation. Specifically, we introduce a quantum lambda calculus MLLqm and define its geometry of interaction (GoI) semantics—in the style of token machines—via the translation of terms into proof nets. Its soundness, i.e. invariance under reduction of proof nets, is established. The calculus MLLqm attains a pleasant balance between expressivity (it is higher-order and accommodates all quantum operations) and concreteness of models (given as token machines, i.e. in the form of automata).KeywordsQuantum ComputationMonoidal CategoryQuantum CircuitLinear LogicReduction RuleThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
