Summary description: Typesetting quantum circuits in a human-readable language
Announcement text:
yquant is a LaTeX package that allows to quickly draw quantum circuits. It is based on TikZ and does not require an external program. At the same time, it offers an interpreter for a human-readable and logic-oriented input instead of matrix-based approaches pursued by other packages. It allows direct interaction with TikZ and embedding of TeX commands into its code.
This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/contrib/yquant More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/yquant CTAN is run entirely by volunteers and supported by TeX user groups. Please join a user group or donate to one, see https://ctan.org/lugs
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Ina Dau --

yquant – Typesetting quantum circuits in a human-readable language
This LaTeX package allows to quickly draw quantum circuits.
It bridges the gap between the two groups of packages that already exist: those that use a logic-oriented custom language, which is then translated into TeX by means of an external program; and the pure TeX versions that mainly provide some macros to allow for an easier input.
yquant is a pure-LaTeX solution — i.e., it requires no external program — that introduces a logic oriented language and thus brings the best of both worlds together. It builds on and interacts with TikZ, which brings an enourmous flexibility for customization of individual circuit.
