    Based on where the discussion was headed, I renamed the quantum channels page quantum operations and channels (but included suitable redirects) and added a few To Do items (including describing quantum operations) since, in order to fully understand the reversibility stuff, open quantum systems should be discussed. I don't have time right now to fill in all the details, but will hopefully get a chance to sometime in the next few days (spring break is rapidly approaching its end which means my time will get eaten up again...).

    Incidentally, from the open systems stuff I will eventually link to a new page on closed time-like curves (CTCs) since they are (or can be) related and I think category theory might serve to help shed some light on how they function. This brings up the question: why isn't there a relativity section on nLab? I thought John Baez had done some work applying categories to quantum gravity? Maybe no one ever got to it?

    People don't have enough time to write, specially topics which they are not thinking right now.

    Makes sense. Well, if I get some time (hahahaha) maybe I'll re-read some of John's papers and put some stuff up there. :)

    Ian, modern QFT and TQFT is entirely formulated in category theory and higher category theory.
