I'm analysing plotting styles in quantum computing papers (specifically Google Quantum AI publications) and trying to understand how the circuit diagrams and plots are created. Here's an example:
The figures show:
Embedded qubit lattice diagrams with coloured nodes in diamond/grid patterns
Labeled measurement gadgets (qubits labeled A, B, C, D, etc.)
What I've tried:
Searched Cirq documentation for plotting functions
Looked through matplotlib gallery for similar examples
Checked Google Quantum AI GitHub repositories
Specific questions:
Are these diagrams generated programmatically (Cirq/matplotlib/other library) or created in design software?
If programmatic, what libraries/functions create qubit lattice visualisations?
Are there any public style guides or templates for quantum circuit visualisation?
Any guidance on the tools or workflow would be helpful.
