Interaction axiomatics for quantum phenomena.
Speaker(s): Bob Coecke
Abstract: In our approach, rather than aiming to recover the 'Hilbert space model' which underpins the orthodox quantum mechanical formalism, we start from a general `pre-operational' framework, and verify how much additional structure we need to be able to describe a range of quantum phenomena. This also ena... read more

Quantum foundations minus probability theory
Speaker(s): Bob Coecke
Abstract: Researchers in quantum foundations claim (D'Ariano, Fuchs, ...): Quantum = probability theory + x and hence: x = Quantum - probability theory Guided by the metaphorical analogy: probability theory / x = flesh / bones we introduce a notion of quantum measurement within x, wh... read more

Where quantum meets logic, . . . in a world of pictures!
Speaker(s): Bob Coecke
Abstract: Yes, that's indeed where it happens. These pictures are not ordinary pictures but come with category-theoretic algebraic semantics, support automated reasoning and design of protocols, and match perfectly the developments in important areas of mathematics such as representation theory, proof theory,... read more
