• Abstract: This paper introduces a formalism that aims to describe the intricacies of quantum computation by establishing a connection with the mathematical foundations of tensor theory and multilinear maps. The focus is on providing a comprehensive representation of quantum states for multiple qubits and the quantum gates that manipulate them. The proposed formalism could contribute to a more intuitive representation of qubit states, and to a clear visualisation of the entanglement property. The main advantages of this formalism are that it preserves the fundamental structure of the Hilbert space to which quantum states belong, and also reduces the computational cost associated with classical prediction of the effect of quantum gates on multi-qubit states. A connection between the ability to generate entanglement and the quantum gate representation is also established.

  We develop a framework to characterize the separability of a specific type of one-dimensional quasiparticle known as a fermionic anyon. We map this notion of fermionic-anyon separability to the free resources of matchgate circuits. We also identify how entanglement between two qubits encoded in a dual-rail manner, as standard for matchgate circuits, corresponds to the notion of entanglement between fermionic anyons.

• Quantum Supermaps are Characterized by Locality [0.6445605125467572]
  We provide a new characterisation of quantum supermaps in terms of an axiom that refers only to sequential and parallel composition. We do so by providing a simple definition of locally-applicable transformation on a monoidal category. In our main technical contribution, we use this diagrammatic representation to show that locally-applicable transformations on quantum channels are in one-to-one correspondence with deterministic quantum supermaps.

• Stochastic emulation of quantum algorithms [0.0]
  We introduce higher-order partial derivatives of a probability distribution of particle positions as a new object that shares basic properties of quantum mechanical states needed for a quantum algorithm. We prove that the propagation via the map built from those universal maps reproduces up to a prefactor exactly the evolution of the quantum mechanical state. We implement several well-known quantum algorithms, analyse the scaling of the needed number of realizations with the number of qubits, and highlight the role of destructive interference for the cost of emulation.
