Findings

Supports qasm language for quantum circuits

Highly configurable with TikZ-based rendering

Produces high-quality, human-readable quantum circuit diagrams

Abstract

Yquant is a LaTeX-only package -- i.e., involving no external programs -- that allows to typeset quantum circuits in a simple and human-readable language. It is inspired by the well-known qasm language and in fact even supports this language; however, the yquant language brings much more flexibility. yquant is based on TikZ and, while producing high-quality output out-of-the-box, it is highly configurable.
