Coecke, Bob; Kissinger, Aleks (2017). Picturing Quantum Processes. local page: Cambridge University Press. ISBN 978-1316219317. 


This book is closely related to Diagrammatic Reasoning[1]. Coecke also wrote a paper on how to teach quantum pictural process to kindergarten kids[2].

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[3].

Quantum Maps from Doubling

From chapter 6.1 of this book[4], 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[5]. This directlu relates to the idea of Data Governance[6]. It is important to note that this book states that pure quantum maps is a subtheory of linear maps.

The origin of all these ideas

Martin Gardner's book on Logic machines and diagrams[7] 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.

Double Entry Bookkeeping and Matrix Algebra

This historical relationship has been documented in many well known publications[8][9][10] and A Theory of Justice[11].
