In this paper, we present an extension of $\lambda\mu$-calculus called $\lambda\mu^{++}$-calculus which has the following properties: subject reduction, strong normalization, unicity of the representation of data and thus confluence only on…
This invited paper presents an overview of an ongoing research program aimed at extending the Curry-Howard-Lambek correspondence to quantum computation. We explore two key frameworks that provide both logical and computational foundations…
With the wide range of quantum programming languages on offer now, efficient program verification and type checking for these languages presents a challenge -- especially when classical debugging techniques may affect the states in a…
We introduce a proof language for Intuitionistic Multiplicative Additive Linear Logic (IMALL), extended with a modality B to capture mixed-state quantum computation. The language supports algebraic constructs such as linear combinations,…
We present a comprehensive programme analysing the decomposition of proof systems for non-classical logics into proof systems for other logics, especially classical logic, using an algebra of constraints. That is, one recovers a proof…
We describe a method for inverting Gentzen's cut-elimination in classical first-order logic. Our algorithm is based on first computign a compressed representation of the terms present in the cut-free proof and then cut-formulas that realize…
Formal mathematics and computer science proofs are formalized using Hilbert-Russell-style logical systems which are designed to not admit paradoxes and self-refencing reasoning. These logical systems are natural way to describe and reason…
Je\v{r}\'abek showed that cuts in classical propositional logic proofs in deep inference can be eliminated in quasipolynomial time. The proof is indirect and it relies on a result of Atserias, Galesi and Pudl\'ak about monotone sequent…
Adjoint logic is a general approach to combining multiple logics with different structural properties, including linear, affine, strict, and (ordinary) intuitionistic logics, where each proposition has an intrinsic mode of truth. It has…
Bi-intuitionistic logic is the conservative extension of intuitionistic logic with a connective dual to implication. It is sometimes presented as a symmetric constructive subsystem of classical logic. In this paper, we compare three sequent…
The study of polarity in computation has revealed that an "ideal" programming language combines both call-by-value and call-by-name evaluation; the two calling conventions are each ideal for half the types in a programming language. But…
The (meta)logic underlying classical theory of computation is Boolean (two-valued) logic. Quantum logic was proposed by Birkhoff and von Neumann as a logic of quantum mechanics more than sixty years ago. The major difference between Boolean…
Regular languages -- the languages accepted by deterministic finite automata -- are known to be precisely the languages recognized by finite monoids. This characterization is the origin of algebraic language theory. In this paper, we…
Display calculi are generalized sequent calculi which enjoy a `canonical' cut elimination strategy. That is, their cut elimination is uniformly obtained by verifying the assumptions of a meta-theorem, and is preserved by adding or removing…
A notion of probabilistic lambda-calculus usually comes with a prescribed reduction strategy, typically call-by-name or call-by-value, as the calculus is non-confluent and these strategies yield different results. This is a break with one…
It is informally understood that the purpose of modal type constructors in programming calculi is to control the flow of information between types. In order to lend rigorous support to this idea, we study the category of classified sets, a…
We introduce the abstract notions of "monadic operational semantics", a small-step semantics where computational effects are modularly modeled by a monad, and "type-and-effect system", including "effect types" whose interpretation lifts…
Calculi with control operators have been studied to reason about control in programming languages and to interpret the computational content of classical proofs. To make these calculi into a real programming language, one should also…
This paper represents classical propositional proofs as *combinatorial proofs*, which are more abstract than proof nets: superposition (contraction/weakening) is modelled mathematically, as a lax form of fibration, rather than syntactically…
We present a novel linear $\lambda$-calculus for Classical Multiplicative Exponential Linear Logic (\MELL) along the lines of the propositions-as-types paradigm. Starting from the standard term assignment for Intuitionistic Multiplicative…
