Austin Fowler at #mqsf : "if you're making a quantum compiler you need the ZX-calculus." ❤️
So gratifying that the world has caught on to the ZX-calculus, and also that the catalyst was this under-appreciated paper. https://quantum-journal.org/papers/q-2020-01-09-218/

The ZX calculus is a language for surface code lattice surgery
Niel de Beaudrap and Dominic Horsman,
Quantum 4, 218 (2020).
A leading choice of error correction for scalable quantum computing is the surface code with lattice surgery. The basic lattice surgery operations, the merging and splitting of logical qubit…
