Effect Semantics for Quantum Process Calculi

Authors: Lorenzo Ceragioli, Fabio Gadducci, Giuseppe Lomurno, and Gabriele Tedeschi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 311, 35th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2024)

Abstract
The development of quantum communication protocols sparked the interest in quantum extensions of process calculi and behavioural equivalences, but defining a bisimilarity that matches the observational properties of a quantum-capable system is a surprisingly difficult task. The two proposals explicitly addressing this issue, qCCS and lqCCS, do not define an algorithmic verification scheme: the bisimilarity of two processes is proven by comparing their behaviour under all input states. We introduce a new semantic model based on effects, i.e. probabilistic predicates on quantum states that represent their observable properties. We define and investigate the properties of effect distributions and effect labelled transition systems (eLTSs), generalizing probability distributions and probabilistic labelled transition systems (pLTSs), respectively. As a proof of concept, we provide an eLTS-based semantics for a minimal quantum process algebra, which we prove sound and complete with respect to the observable probabilistic behaviour of quantum processes. To the best of our knowledge, ours is the first algorithmically verifiable proposal that abides to the properties of quantum theory.

The Quantum Monad on Relational Structures

Authors: Samson Abramsky, Rui Soares Barbosa, Nadish de Silva, and Octavio Zapata

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 83, 42nd International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2017)

Abstract
Homomorphisms between relational structures play a central role in finite model theory, constraint satisfaction, and database theory. A central theme in quantum computation is to show how quantum resources can be used to gain advantage in information processing tasks. In particular, non-local games have been used to exhibit quantum advantage in boolean constraint satisfaction, and to obtain quantum versions of graph invariants such as the chromatic number. We show how quantum strategies for homomorphism games between relational structures can be viewed as Kleisli morphisms for a quantum monad on the (classical) category of relational structures and homomorphisms. We use these results to exhibit a wide range of examples of contextuality-powered quantum advantage, and to unify several apparently diverse strands of previous work.
