Objectives and learning outcomes

The development of quantum information and computation entaisl the need for formal tools to model, verify and reason rigorously about quantum systems. This course explores the connection between (quantum) computation, (resource-sensitive) logic, and category theory, given by the Curry-Howard-Lambek correspondence, which identifies propositions with types and proofs with programs, and formalizes the model space as a (monoidal) category. Thus, in the end, students will be able to apply to the development of quantum programs a solid and operative knowledge in
