Rewriting modulo symmetric monoidal structure

2016

String diagrams are a powerful and intuitive graphical syntax for terms of symmetric monoidal categories (SMCs). They find many applications in computer science and are becoming increasingly relevant in other fields such as physics and …

Hybrid Quantum-Classical Machine Learning with String Diagrams

2024 · arXiv (Cornell University)

Central to near-term quantum machine learning is the use of hybrid quantum-classical algorithms. This paper develops a formal framework for describing these algorithms in terms of string diagrams: a key step towards integrating these hybrid …
