# ZX-calculus Anki deck

An Anki deck for studying the ZX-calculus.

Download it [from Ankiweb](https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/132121405).

## Setup

To (re)create the deck using the desktop Anki app,

first download the [Edit LaTeX build process add-on](https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/937148547).

Then configure the add-on to use [`convert` from ImageMagick](https://imagemagick.org/script/convert.php) as follows on Linux and Windows:

```

{

    "pngCommands": [

        [

            "pdflatex",

            "-interaction=nonstopmode",

            "--shell-escape",

            "tmp.tex"

        ],

        [

            "convert",

            "-density",

            "200",

            "-trim",

            "tmp.pdf",

            "tmp.png"

        ]

    ],

    [ ... other stuff... ]

}

```

On MacOS, use `sips` instead:

```

{

    "pngCommands": [

        [

            "pdflatex",

            "-interaction=nonstopmode",

            "--shell-escape",

            "tmp.tex"

        ],

        [

            "sips",

            "-s",

            "format",

            "png",

            "tmp.pdf",

            "--out",

            "tmp.png"

        ]

    ],

    [ ... other stuff... ]

}

```

In Anki, under "Tools|Manage Note Types", for the `ZX-Calculus` note type, enter the following for the header:

```

\providecommand{\pgfsyspdfmark}[3]{}

\documentclass[convert={convertexe={convert}},border=2]{standalone}

\usepackage{amsmath}

\usepackage{tikz}

\usetikzlibrary{quantikz}

\usetikzlibrary{zx-calculus}

\pagestyle{empty}

\setlength{\parindent}{0in}

\newcommand{\ketbra}[2]{\ensuremath{\ket{#1}\!\bra{#2}}}

\begin{document}

```

And then this for the footer:

```

\end{document}

```

The notes should be processed by LaTeX automatically to produce the cards.
