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.

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 Chap 6.1.1, p.253</ref>, and eliminate global phasesCite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many Chap 6.1.2, p.257</ref>.
