[intro_zx_circuit_model.pdf](https://github.com/qiskit-community/qiskit-textbook/files/6444811/intro_zx_circuit_model.pdf) I'll put here, to keep track of it with this textbook chapter open issue, slides I made as a gentle introduction to the zx-calculus for those interested in applying...

[intro_zx_circuit_model.pptx](https://github.com/qiskit-community/qiskit-textbook/files/6444827/intro_zx_circuit_model.pptx) powerpoint of above file. Not sure why when exporting as pdf, the spiders became polygonal xD

May I suggest replacing the existing image with the optimal one, along with the half-sentence remark (with citation) that it optimally minimizes the number of parameters?

I worked with Emma Dasgupta ( @edasgupta ) and @ewinston on this in 2019 when Emma and I interned at IBM Q as undergrads. At the time, PyZX was GPL...

A writeup summarizing our 2019 PyZX transpiler pass in Qiskit is at https://src.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/src/2020/lia-yeh.pdf The code structure was kept simple so it builds on top of Qiskit and PyZX, rather than...

https://github.com/Quantomatic/pyzx/pull/234 fixes two bugs: that entering the phase as "1/2 * pi" displayed in ZXLive as 1/2, instead of pi/2, and that "pi/2" displayed in ZXLive as "1/2". We have...

Update on inputting "2a+b" for the phase gets auto-converted to "0a+b" with newer versions of the PyZX: The exact change in the PyZX codebase that broke this was from commit...

@hm919 and I fixed this bug by submitting PR https://github.com/Quantomatic/pyzx/pull/234 to PyZX However, we agree a design doc for PyZX would be better and reached out to the PyZX maintainers

Joining as coach :) this looks like an exciting project, can't wait to see where it goes!
