What tools exist for creating quantum circuit diagrams and exporting them as images? Preferably one which runs in Windows, or even better one which runs in the web browser.

          I'm new to the quantum world as well, but so far I've been able to draw my basic simple circuits with Qasm2Circ. It requires:



          • latex2e with xypic (included in tetex)

          • python version 2.3 or greater

          • ghostscript (and epstopdf) (for creation of pdfs)

          • netpbm (for creation of png files)

          Hopefully, somebody will be able to list other tools.

          • No, I'm using it on Ubuntu. Although, it seems there exist a version for Windows too, check out this Github repo.

          Depending on how involved your circuit is you could use




          • Quantikz (written by @DaftWullie I believe)

          or it's predecessor




          • Q-circuit by Bryan Eastin and Steve Flammia.

          These are tools to make circuit diagrams in TeX for papers and the like, but you can always make your TeX file just the circuit you want and save it as a pdf. Making complex and incredibly long circuits might be a bit of a hassle and would be better done in an automated tool like the one posted by Davide_sd.
