\"\"<\/a>Many readers are familiar with the LaTeX package called Q-circuit<\/a> that I coauthored with Bryan Eastin. If you aren’t familiar with it, it is a set of macros that helps make typesetting quantum circuits easy, efficient and (reasonably) intuitive. \u00a0The results are quite beautiful, if I do say so myself, as can be seen in the picture to the left.
\nIn the past year Bryan and I began getting emails from Q-circuit users who were experiencing some bugs. It turns out that the issue was usually an incompatibility between Q-circuit v1.2 and Xy-pic v3.8, an update to a package that Q-circuit relies on heavily.
\nThanks to the user feedback and some support from the authors of Xy-pic, we were able to stamp out the bugs. (Probably… no guarantees!) Thus I present to you the latest version of Q-circuit!
\nDownload Q-circuit v2.0<\/a>
\nThere is more info on\u00a0the Q-circuit website<\/a>, where you will find the tutorial, some examples, and you can also enjoy the painfully retro green-on-black motif. (Let the haters hate… I like it.) A few additional technical details:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Nothing has been added to the new version. \u00a0It is as near as possible to the old\u00a0version while still functioning with Xy-pic version\u00a03.8.x.<\/li>\n
  2. The old version of Q-circuit works better with Xy-pic version 3.7.\u00a0(When using Xy-pic 3.7, Q-circuit 2.0 makes PDFs with\u00a0slightly pixelated curves.)<\/li>\n
  3. The arXiv is still using Xy-pic 3.7 and they don’t know when they’ll update to 3.8.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Finally, a big thank you to my coauthor Bryan for putting in so much hard work to make Q-circuit a success!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
