Abstract

I will talk about some recent applications of logical methods to quantum information theory. In computing, a higher-order function is a function for which the input or output is another function. I will argue that many of the interesting phenomena of quantum information theory involve higher-order functions, although that is often not how they are presented. I’ll talk about the quantum lambda calculus as a possible framework to describe such phenomena.
