We develop a sound and complete equational theory for the functional quantumprogramming language QML. The soundness and completeness of the theory are withrespect to the previously-developed denotational semantics of QML. Thecompleteness proof also gives rise to a normalisation algorithm following thenormalisation by evaluation approach. The current work focuses on the purefragment of QML omitting measurements.Comment: To appear in ENTCS, 3rd International Workshop on Quantum Programming Languages, 2005. 21 Page
