Picturing Quantum Processes: A First Course in Quantum Theory and Diagrammatic Reasoning + ZX calculus #40

Closed amitracal closed 2 years ago

amitracal commented 2 years ago

Description

Bob Coecke and Aleks Kissinger in their iconic book named "Picturing Quantum Processes: A First Course in Quantum Theory and Diagrammatic Reasoning" presents a beautiful and more intutive alternative representation to quantum operations. This can be a game changer in quantum education and research and because this pictorial reprsentation will make complex operations more intuitive many underlying properties may be able to be excavated. . Project should take approximately 3 months to reasonably complete. The projects will 1) build technical skills, increase our number of core contributors, and work on meaningful projects we want to integrate into Qiskit or maintain; 2) Tackle problems that relate to advancing quantum computing. This should transform into patents and papers.

Close due to no mentor. Of course you are feel to organize yourselves outside the mentorship program if you are still interested.
