Coalgebraic Quantum Computation

Frank Roumen
(Radboud University Nijmegen)

Coalgebras generalize various kinds of dynamical systems occuring in mathematics and computer science. Examples of systems that can be modeled as coalgebras include automata and Markov chains. We will present a coalgebraic representation of systems occuring in the field of quantum computation, using convex sets of density matrices as state spaces. This will allow us to derive a method to convert quantum mechanical systems into simpler probabilistic systems with the same probabilistic behaviour.
