A Quantum-Control Lambda-Calculus with Multiple Measurement Bases
Abstract
We introduce Lambda-SX, a typed quantum lambda-calculus that supports multiple measurement bases. By tracking duplicability relative to arbitrary bases within the type system, Lambda-SX enables more flexible control and compositional reasoning about measurements. We formalise its syntax, typing rules, subtyping, and operational semantics, and establish its key meta-theoretical properties. This proof-of-concept shows that support for multiple bases can be coherently integrated into the type discipline of quantum programming languages.
