LaTeX

  • Online TeX editors, such as Overleaf, are convinent to get you started. Overleaf also maintains a nice set of tutorials. Just open a template tex file and tweak it!
  • A Not so short intro to Latex PDF, a thorough introduction to LaTeX, and guide on good style.
  • Qcircuit package for drawing quantum circuits in LaTeX, and more examples [PDF TeX] by Charemza.
