From [0] 2018: "In [1] we present an entirely diagrammatic presentation of quantum the-ory with applications in quantum foundations and quantum information.This was the result of many years of work by many, and started of as acategory-theoretic axiomatisation motivated by computer science as well asaxiomatic physics. However, I have always felt that the diagrammatic pre-sentation is of great use in its own right, be it to bridge disciplines, makequantum theory more easy to grasp, or, for educational purposes, in [2] wemade the bolt claim that using diagrams high-school kids could even out-perform their teachers, or university students. Now, we will put this claimto the test. To do so, we have written two tutorials [3,4], covering exactlythe same material, but one only using diagrams, while the other containsthe standard Hilbert space presentation. There are corresponding sets ofexamples too."
