|**Abstract:** || Recent work in the foundations of quantum mechanics carried out in Oxford has emphasised the role that algebraic structures - hidden in Hilbert space - play in various stereotypically quantum behaviours. I will demonstrate the role that these structures can play in elucidating the most "intrinsically quantum" computing model, that of measurement based quantum computation via a series of diagrammatic proofs demonstrating: the equivalence of various entangled quantum states, and correctness of various measurement-based quantum computations.
