✦ Synopsis


Categories for Quantum Theory: An Introduction lays foundations for an approach to quantum theory that uses category theory, a branch of pure mathematics. Prior knowledge of quantum information theory or category theory helps, but is not assumed, and basic linear algebra and group theory suffices.
