    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.

    Have now referenced it as follows (here):

    • Yuri I. Manin, Introduction to: Computable and Uncomputable, Sov. Radio (1980) [Russian original: pdf], Enlish translation on p. 69-77 of Mathematics as Metaphor: Selected essays of Yuri I. Manin, Collected Works 20, AMS (2007) [ISBN:978-0-8218-4331-4]

    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.
