New scientific paradigms typically consist of an expansion of the
conceptual language with which we describe the world. Over the past
decade, theoretical physics and quantum information theory have
turned to category theory to model and reason about quantum
protocols. This new use of categorical and algebraic tools allows a
more conceptual and insightful expression of elementary events such
as measurements, teleportation and entanglement operations, that
were obscured in previous formalisms. Recent work in natural
language semantics has begun to use these categorical methods to
relate grammatical analysis and semantic representations in a
unified framework for analysing language meaning, and learning
meaning from a corpus. A growing body of literature on the use of
categorical methods in quantum information theory and computational
linguistics shows both the need and opportunity for new research on
the relation between these categorical methods and the abstract
notion of information flow. This book supplies an overview of how
categorical methods are used to model information flow in both
physics and linguistics. It serves as an introduction to this
interdisciplinary research, and provides a basis for future
research and collaboration between the different communities
interested in applying category theoretic methods to their domain's
open problems.
