The ZX calculus is a graphical language that provides an intuitive and elegant way to reason about quantum computing, rigorously backed by 300 research papers (cf. zxcalculus.com/publications). In this talk, we will introduce this calculus’s fundamental concepts and techniques. After introducing the basics and time permitting, we will overview diagrammatic reasoning of several quantum applications such as Quantum Teleportation, the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm, Measurement-Based Quantum Computing, and quantum computing for chemistry and condensed matter applications.
