- Abstract: We introduce the first complete equational theory for quantum circuits. More
precisely, we introduce a set of circuit equations that we prove to be sound
and complete: two circuits represent the same unitary map if and only if they
can be transformed one into the other using the equations. The proof is based
on the properties of multi-controlled gates -- that are defined using
elementary gates -- together with an encoding of quantum circuits into linear
optical circuits, which have been proved to have a complete axiomatisation.

We present a theory of circuit quantization that treats charges and flux on a manifestly symmetric footing.
For planar circuits, known circuit dualities are a natural canonical transformation on the classical phase space.
We discuss the extent to which such circuit dualities generalize to non-planar circuits.

The first complete equational theory for quantum circuits has only recently been introduced.
We simplify the equational theory by proving that several rules can be derived from the remaining ones.
The complete equational theory can be extended to quantum circuits with ancillae or qubit discarding.

This paper provides such a connecting via quantum information theory which is an intuitive approach as quantum physics obeys probability laws.
