It makes things that used to look different obviously the same, so you can easily translate results. A few examples: https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.08829 (ZX shows equivalence between approaches that used to be thought of as different) https://arxiv.org/abs/1704.08670 (ZX shows how to find new ways to implement fault tolerant operations) https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.12780 (using ZX to build a 4-body parity measurement out of 5 2-body parity measurements instead of…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1704.08670/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
