We construct a category $\mathrm{HomCob}$ whose objects are {\it homotopically 1-finitely generated} topological spaces, and whose morphisms are {\it cofibrant cospans}. Given a manifold submanifold pair $(M,A)$, we prove that there exists…

Complex quantum circuits are constituted by combinations of quantum subroutines. The computation is possible as long as the quantum data encoding is consistent throughout the circuit. Despite its fundamental importance, the formalization of…

This thesis proposes a framework based on a notion of combinatorial cell complex (cc) whose cells are defined simply as finite sets of vertices. The cells of a cc are subject to four axioms involving a rank function that assigns a rank (or…

Distributed quantum computing is motivated by the difficulty in building large-scale, individual quantum computers. To solve that problem, a large quantum circuit is partitioned and distributed to small quantum computers for execution.…

We undertake a study of the notion of a quantum graph over arbitrary finite-dimensional $C^*$-algebras $B$ equipped with arbitrary faithful states. Quantum graphs are realised principally as either certain operators on $L^2(B)$, the quantum…

In topological quantum computation, quantum information is stored in states which are intrinsically protected from decoherence, and quantum gates are carried out by dragging particle-like excitations (quasiparticles) around one another in…

Robust quantum computation with d-level quantum systems (qudits) poses two requirements: fast, parallel quantum gates and high fidelity two-qudit gates. We first describe how to implement parallel single qudit operations. It is by now well…
