    I was convinced that John had discussed this as one of the topics planned for Azimuth Project, but my search did not find any directly related entry there, maybe John wrote about it elsewhere ? To some extent it s related to

    • John C. Baez, Mike Stay, Physics, topology, logic and computation: a rosetta stone, arxiv/0903.0340

    which I will quote in the entry. The first ideas on quantum computing were due a paper of Feynman I think, but can not search for it now.

    added to quantum computation an explicit pointer to the article

    • Ugo Dal Lago, Claudia Faggian, On Multiplicative Linear Logic, Modality and Quantum Circuits (arXiv:1210.0613)

    which argues explicitly that linear (modal) logic is a good formalization of quantum compuation.

    But I need to stare at that article a bit more to get a better idea of what their modality does. Adding qbits? I am not sure if I got the point here.

    Can anyone help with Yuri Manin’s original 1980 article on quantum computing?

    Wikipedia references this in the weirdest way (here): via a pointer to the WaybackMachine which then points to a zip-file which finally contains a djvu-scan of Manin’s actual book.

    This seems a shame. I might make a pdf-copy of the file now and directly save it to the nLab server.

    But if anyone knows that/where Manin’s book may be hosted online (maybe on some Russian site which English Google queries won’t detect) please let me know.

    with this quote (which, apart from the preceding paragraph on RNA copying etc., seems to be the gist of it):

    Perhaps, for a better understanding of [molecular biology], we need a mathematical theory of quantum automata.

    In fact, languages for classically controlled quantum computation should be based on dependent linear type theory (Vakar 14, Vakar 15, Vakar 17, Sec. 3, Lundfall 17, Lundfall 18, following Schreiber 14) with categorical semantics in indexed monoidal categories:

    That’s an interesting way to put things:

    What makes this work, semantically, is a deep surprising theorem in modern algebraic topology which roughly says – echoing Bohr’s famous standpoint:

    Topological quantum logic, when parameterized, becomes a form of classical logic.

    Yes, it’s noteworthy. I had first tried to verbalize this on top of p. 5 of the Quantum Monadology, but there is room left to say it in more relatable terms.

    One of the participant type-theorists of RunningHoTT a few weeks ago quite picked up this point of how this approach allows to keep all of classical type-theorist’s tools in place and build on them in order to do quantum, instead of needing to start from scratch (cf. p. 2 of Mitchell’s slides, despite their terseness).
