In this survey article we give basic introduction to the theory of quantum families of maps. We begin with a general look at non-commutative (or "quantum") topology. Then we formulate all our results in this language. Existence of quantum…

Let $\mathscr{M}$ be a combinatorial and left proper model category, possibly with a monoidal structure. If $\mathscr{O}$ is either a monad on $\mathscr{M}$ or an operad enriched over $\mathscr{M}$, define a QS-algebra in $\mathscr{M}$ to…

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of some of the foundational properties of categories enriched over quantaloids, along with several new results. We demonstrate that the category whose objects are quantaloid-enriched categories…

Whenever graphs admit equitable partitions, their quotient graphs highlight the structure evidenced by the partition. It is therefore very natural to ask what can be said about two graphs that have the same quotient according to certain…

Let $K$ be a simply connected compact Lie group and $T^{\ast}(K)$ its cotangent bundle. We consider the problem of "quantization commutes with reduction" for the adjoint action of $K$ on $T^{\ast}(K).$ We quantize both $T^{\ast}(K)$ and the…

It is well-known that the category of Kleisli algebras for a monoidal monad carries a canonical monoidal structure. We define the notion of a commutative graded monad and present a strictly two-categorical proof that Kleisli algebras for…

A symmetric monoidal category naturally arises as the mathematical structure that organizes physical systems, processes, and composition thereof, both sequentially and in parallel. This structure admits a purely graphical calculus. This…

Homomorphisms between relational structures play a central role in finite model theory, constraint satisfaction and database theory. A central theme in quantum computation is to show how quantum resources can be used to gain advantage in…

We investigate the set a) of positive, trace preserving maps acting on density matrices of size N, and a sequence of its nested subsets: the sets of maps which are b) decomposable, c) completely positive, d) extended by identity impose…

We describe for any Riemannian manifold a certain infinitesimal neighbourhood of the diagonal. Semi-conformal maps are analyzed as those that preserve such neighbourhoods; harmonic maps are analyzed as those that preserve mirror image…

We construct for every connected locally finite graph $\Pi$ the quantum automorphism group $\text{QAut}\ \Pi$ as a locally compact quantum group. When $\Pi$ is vertex transitive, we associate to $\Pi$ a new unitary tensor category…

A linear map between matrix spaces is positive if it maps positive semidefinite matrices to positive semidefinite ones, and is called completely positive if all its ampliations are positive. In this article quantitative bounds on the…

We prove that $i)$ if $\mathcal{A}$ is $\lambda $-accessible and it is axiomatizable in (finitary) coherent logic then $\lambda $-pure maps are strict monomorphisms and $ii)$ if there is a proper class of strongly compact cardinals and…

Quantum channels, a subset of quantum maps, describe the unitary and non-unitary evolution of quantum systems. We study a generalization of the concept of Pauli maps to the case of multipartite high dimensional quantum systems through the…

We introduce a category $\mathsf{qGph}$ of quantum graphs, whose definition is motivated entirely from noncommutative geometry. For all quantum graphs $G$ and $H$ in $\mathsf{qGph}$, we then construct a quantum graph $[G,H]$ of…

We define a class of maps between holomorphically embedded null curves which generalize conformal transformations, and can be defined in any complex dimension. In four dimensions, we can also define a similar map between self-dual surfaces,…

A scheme of q-deformation of nonlinear maps is introduced. As a specific example, a q-deformation procedure related to the Tsallis q-exponential function is applied to the logistic map. Compared to the canonical logistic map, the resulting…

What does it mean to quantize a symplectic map $\chi$? In deformation quantization, it means to construct an automorphism of the $*$ algebra associated to $\chi$. In quantum chaos it means to construct unitary operators $U_{\chi}$ such that…
