Better define when one should use _decompose_

bump bump This causes a ton of confusion.

Better define when one should use _decompose_

Just to repeat what I've said elsewhere: the decompose contract causes lots of confusion because it is not clear a) what one should decompose into, b) whether one should implement...

Better define when one should use _decompose_

Some notes: Gate sets can sometimes be very discrete or floating point precision discrete. We should be able to handle both (not for QEC reasons but more because there may...

Better define when one should use _decompose_

I think that you are minimizing the importance of gate sets for hardware. Think about how often you've been listening to experimentalists / hardware folks and you seen them focus...

Better define when one should use _decompose_

Some thoughts on this old issue. We have `Moment`s and we have `Operation` that act within a moment. When an `Operation` can be decomposed into multiple gates, this implicitly breaks...

Better define when one should use _decompose_

I believe we standardized on `_decompose_` always falling back to a "standard" gate set. @tanujkhattar is this documented somewhere? If so we can close this.

Make LaTex/PDF images better, stop using qcircuit

Let's track this here and close #1290

Document easy way to displays circuits on grids

Ah I was thinking about moving the grid of Foxtail, but probably this is a bad idea because there is a nice convention for containing box containing 0,0 as grid...

Document easy way to displays circuits on grids

OK so embedding seems wrong but something to convert might be useful.

Document easy way to displays circuits on grids

I think what is missing here is just a simple method that creates the Callable between cirq.Qid's that is used in Circuit.with_device. Actually I think can just pass lambda x:...
