This book is closely related to [[Book/Diagrammatic Reasoning|Diagrammatic Reasoning]]<ref>{{:Book/Diagrammatic Reasoning}}</ref>. Coecke also wrote a paper on how to teach quantum pictural process to kindergarten kids<ref>{{:Paper/Kindergarten Quantum Mechanics}}</ref>.
=Interesting Ideas in this book=
This book is about using pictorial representation to describe quantum processes. This statement meant that this diagrammatic language could be a generic symbolic system to represent any physical process, since quantum process is really just a way approximate physical phenomenon in a discrete symbol system.
==Quantum Maps from Doubling==
From chapter 6.1 of this book<ref name="PQP">{{:Book/Picturing Quantum Processes}}</ref>, the notion of '''doubling''' is applied to generate probabilities<ref extends="PQP"/> Chap 6.1.1, p.253</ref>, and eliminate global phases<ref extends="PQP"/> Chap 6.1.2, p.257</ref>.
