This paper presents a novel semantics for a quantum programming language by , which are known to give a formulation for quantum theory that is alternative to the one by Hilbert spaces. We show that the opposite of the category of *-algebras and normal completely positive subunital maps is an elementary quantum flow chart category in the sense of Selinger. As a consequence, it gives a denotational semantics for Selinger’s first-order functional quantum programming language. The use of operator algebras allows us to accommodate infinite structures and to handle classical and quantum computations in a unified way. |
