List of plaquettes

This folder contains a LaTeX document that explicitly list all the plaquettes needed by the tqec repository.

Dependencies

You need any UNIX-compliant version of make and latexmk in order to compile the LaTeX document in this folder. You also need a working installation of LaTeX with the following packages:

• underscore used to allow underscores in many places where it would be interpreted as a special character by mistake.
• pgfplots and pgf/tikz to draw plaquettes and circuits.
• xcolor to define custom colors.
• standalone to define standalone PDFs that will then be included in the main document.

Compiling

A simple

make -j8

should be enough. The targets clean (remove all LaTeX auxilliary files, but not the PDFs) and cleanall (remove all LaTeX auxilliary files AND the PDFs) are also available.

Directories

This repository is organized in 2 directories and one main file:

• the main file main.tex describes the list of plaquettes.
• the plaquettes directory contains all the necessary code to generate plaquette visualisation.
• the circuits directory contains all the necessary code to generate the circuits represented by each plaquette.

The different Makefiles in the directories are managing dependencies between the main file and the different directories (that have to be compiled fully before starting to compile the main file).
