I currently plan to post less, if at all, on here in future.

St John's College Oxford is currently advertising for CDRF (analogous to a JRF) in CS. This is a great opportunity: basically to be a postdoc on your own project rather than someone else's.

Picturing Quantum Software is a brand new book covering state of the art methods in quantum compiling, circuit optimisation, classical simulation, and fault-tolerant quantum computing using the language of the ZX-calculus. Get the preprint for free: github.com/zxcalc/book

Interested in learning about compiler calculation? Check out Patrick Bahr's great talk on our paper at #ICFP in Milan this week: tinyurl.com/53uvyjxy. The paper is freely available from: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36746….
The paper has a small introduction. Ralf and I also have a couple of other papers that are expository in nature, and an introductory book if you really want to go in depth.
An early expository preprint of mine is on the arXiv.

Revised draft paper with Ralf Hinze, with many improvements. Formal monad theory, calculational reasoning with string diagrams, and lots of colourful pictures. Now featuring this funny robot like character.
On my website as too much for the arXiv.

Back to drawing string diagrams, this time related to commutative squares of adjunctions. Just two iterations of a proof step that intuitively slides a twist around a bend. Also evidence I seem to be turning into some sort of retro wallpaper designer.

I just put a new version of my book on a category-theoretical approach to Formal Language Theory onto my homepage. It includes two new chapters on power sets and distributive laws.

I have a new blog post comparing exponentials with their fixed point encodings in linear logic on The Proof Theory Blog: prooftheory.blog/2024/06/27/… . Any comments are welcome!
This suggests a fundraising opportunity for higher category theory - pay a small sum to have 10275-cells named after you, and so on...

Interested in joining our project on semantics-directed compiler construction? @danghica is advertising a 3-year postdoctoral position in Birmingham, UK. Please share, and pass on to anyone who may be interested in applying! Closing date 11 July 2024. lists.seas.upenn.edu/piperma…
