Quantum Computation, Categorical Semantics and Linear Logic

We develop a type theory and provide a denotational semantics for a simple fragment of the quantum lambda calculus, a formal language for quantum computation based on linear logic. In our semantics, variables inhabit certain Hilbert bundles, and computations are interpreted as the appropriate inner product preserving maps between Hilbert bundles. These bundles and maps form a symmetric monoidal closed category, as expected for a calculus based on linear logic.
