On the theory side, we aim to augment the \zxcalculus in several directions: by going from qubits to qudits, developing representations for recursion and control, and expressing topological and causal constraints.
Throughout the project, we will check the performance of our methods against competitors and benchmark our software using the open test-suite we will develop.

\paragraph{Coordinator}
\label{sec:overall}
Coordination between sites and between work packages will be overseen
by D. Horsman at the Grenoble site, which will also handle the
overall administration of the project.
\paragraph{Sites}
\label{sec:sites}
The project will be managed by a senior scientist from each site:
B. Coecke (Oxford), R. Duncan (CQC), D. Horsman (Grenoble), A. B. Sainz (Gdansk),
S. Perdrix (LORIA), and A. Kissinger (Nijmegen). They will track
global progress to ensure milestones are reached, and facilitate
collaboration across tasks at their individual sites. They will be in close contact throughout the project to assure coherence and concurrence of the activities at the different sites.
\paragraph{Work packages}
\label{sec:work-packages-1}
Each work package will be lead by a responsible PI who will coordinate
research activity between sites to ensure that deliverables are met,
achieve WP-specific objectives, and organise collaboration meetings as
needed.

Coordination between sites and work packages will be done
by Horsman/Grenoble, which will also handle project administration. The project will be managed by a senior scientist from each site:
\item[{\bf M4}] Back-end support for Oxford Ion Traps, initial back end API (month 30)
\item[{\bf M5}] Complete deep-\zx compiler stack with open
APIs, and a target compiled protocol demonstrating explicit quantum speed-up. (month 36)
\end{description}
Hence, at each milestone we will deliver a functioning piece of software. With each
milestone, we add more, and more advanced, functionality. By delivering the software incrementally, we follow best practice in the industry: by regularly integrating parts from all work packages, we
reduce risk and improve communication across the consortium.
