Extending Graphical Representations for Compact Closed Categories with Applications to Symbolic Quantum Computation

Graph-based formalisms of quantum computation provide an abstract and symbolic way to represent and simulate computations. However, manual manipulation of such graphs is slow and error prone. We present a formalism, based on compact closed categories, that supports mechanised reasoning about such gr...
