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[3], 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.
