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. To get a good introductory talk, watch Bob Coecke's talk on From quantum processes to cognition via pictures[4].

Quantum Maps from Doubling

From chapter 6.1 of this book[5], the notion of doubling is applied to generate probabilitiesCite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many, and eliminate global phasesCite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many. The notion of doubling maybe related to the notion of Double Entry Bookkeeping[6]. This directlu relates to the idea of Data Governance[7]. It is important to note that this book states that pure quantum maps is a subtheory of linear maps.

A historical account of Diagrammatic Reasoning

Martin Gardner's book on Logic machines and diagrams[1] is a great starting point to see how logic and process visualization comes together. Chapter 3 of the book: A Network Diagram for the Propositional CalculusCite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many is particularly relevant to Quantum Circuit visualization. He also explicitly mentioned that he was influenced by Joachim Lambek[8].

Double Entry Bookkeeping and Matrix Algebra

This historical relationship has been documented in many well known publications[9][10][11] and A Theory of Justice[12].
