ZX-calculus publications Feed icon

This is intended to be a complete list of all publications that use the ZX-calculus (and related graphical calculi) in some manner. The guiding principle is that if the paper contains at least one ZX-diagram, then it should be in this list. If you find any errors or feel that a missing publication should be included in this list, please contact John van de Wetering. If you want to keep up-to-date with additions, there is also an RSS feed, and a Twitter account posting updates.
