- The best way to realize circuit equalities is with the help of \texttt{frameless} subcircuits.
- The \texttt{[frameless]} attribute can either be specified on each subcircuit individually or, as done here, globally via the corresponding style.
- In this way, we can specify all subcircuits individually.
- All wires that are identical in the circuits must be outer wires; but in fact, we do not want them to be visible outside of the subcircuits.
- Consequently, we initialize them in the outer circuit as \gate{nobit}s, declare them with the \texttt{[out]} attribute, and discard them right after the subcircuit.
- It is important not to discard them within the subcircuit, as the wires would then not extend to the same horizontal final position.
- The equality sign is realized very easily by means of a \gate{box} gate that spans all registers and from which we remove the border.

Here, we do not have a circuit equation (i.e., logical statements involving multiple rather independent circuits), but a circuit progression.

- In the opposite way, we proceed after giving the state.
- Where to put the actual labels (e.g., the \gate{box} could also have contained $\mapsto \ket{\psi_{x, y}} \mapsto$ and the \gate{output} and \gate{init} gates could have been empty) is up to the user.
-
- Note that we used \texttt{seamless} instead of \texttt{frameless}, which gives a tighter spacing that is more suitable if initializers or outputs are present.

\compat{New in 0.3}\Yquant{} not only understands its own language, but also others.
+ \compat{New in 0.5}Although we refer to ``foreign languages,'' additional extension packages of the \Yquant{} language itself are also covered in this section and can be loaded by the same syntax.
+
+ \subsection[groups]{\compat{New in 0.5}groups}\label{sec:foreign:groups}
+ By saying \tex!\useyquantlanguage{groups}! in the preamble after loading \Yquant{} itself, additional support for groups of \Yquant{} circuits is loaded.
+ Various circuits in a group share a common set of registers, are appropriately aligned horizontally if on the same line and can also be aligned vertically among multiple lines.
+ The main intended use is for circuit equations.
+
+ This extension provides the environment \tex!yquantgroup!.
+ You may use this environment within a \tex!tikzpicture!; in this case, all page\hyp break related features are not available.
+ You may alternatively use the environment outside of a \tex!tikzpicture!; in this case, it will start and end the pictures appropriately.
+
+ As with \tex!yquant!, the environment accepts optional options that are passed to \tex!\yquantset!; a starred form is available that allows for the lazy creation of registers---but note that \emph{shared} registers must always be created explicitly; only if some circuits in the group have additional registers, the lazy creation applies.
+

+ % tikz commands go here
+\end{tikzpicture}
+ \end{minted}
+
+ \subsubsection{Special macros}
+ \paragraph*{\tex!\registers!}
+ The \tex!\registers! macro can and must only be used once in a \tex!yquantgroup! environment.
+ It contains the declaration of all the registers that are shared among the various circuits within a group.
+ Basically, if you follow the convention in a usual \Yquant{} circuit to first declare all the registers, then use the gates, then you would put the declaration part in the \tex!\registers! macro.
+ However, note that it is in principle also possible to mix register declarations with other gates and \TikZ{} commands.
+
+ In case you do not use the \gate{import} gate in any of the circuits within the group and you do not declare own registers, the behavior is very straightforward: basically, the content of \tex!\registers! is copied verbatim at the beginning of each circuit.
+ Otherwise, the general rule is: importing a register will ensure that all non\hyp declaration commands that preceded this register declaration are executed; and importing the last register will additionally execute all succeeding commands within \tex!\registers!.
+
+ \paragraph*{\tex!\circuit[<style>]{<content>}!}
+ The \tex!\circuit! macro can be thought of as starting a \tex!yquant! (or \tex!yquant*!) environment and using its mandatory argument \tex!<content>! as the content of the circuit; the optional \tex!<style>! is used to apply additional styling options to the circuit.
+
+ This is not entirely accurate: In reality, the content is put into a \gate{subcircuit} and \tex!<style>! is passed as arguments to the subcircuit.
+
+ The default style \style{/yquant/operators/every group circuit} is applied to the circuit.
+ This style is configured such that the illusion of working in a top\hyp level \tex!yquant! environment is very convincing: The circuit is frameless by default and uses the transparent name mangling scheme.
+
+ All the registers that were previously defined via \tex!\registers! are automatically available within the circuit, as if their declaration had been copied.
+ In fact, \Yquant{} will make a register available the first time it is referenced in some gate; if at the end of a circuit some of the shared registers were not used, they will be imported before exiting the circuit.
+ Consequently, if you define own registers just for a single circuit, these will always be at the very top.
+ This can be influenced by means of the \gate{import} gate, which is only available in group \tex!\circuit!s.
+ This gate allows to import a declared register at an arbitrary position.
+
+ \paragraph*{\tex!\equals*[<content>]!}\label{sec:foreign:groups:equals}
+ The \tex!\equals! macro inserts a blank text---internally, a \gate{box}\hyp like gate with the style \style{/yquant/operators/every group equals}---that contains \tex!<content>!.
+ If omitted, \tex!<content>! is given by \tex!$=$!.
+
+ The optional star will put a horizontal alignment mark at the position where the box is inserted.
+ Similar to the \tex!&! operation in \pkg{amsmath}'s \tex!align! environment or the \tex!\>! in \TeX's native \tex!tabbing!, \Yquant{} will now remember the horizontal position of the box internally and will allow you to directly jump to this position in the next line.
+ Note that you may well have multiple alignment marks in a single line, which \Yquant{} internally numbers \texttt{1}, \texttt{2}, \dots.
+
+ \paragraph*{\tex!\\[<separation>]!}
+ The \tex!\\! macro inserts a line break (never a page break), so that the next \tex!\circuit! or \tex!\equals! will be put below all circuits that were output before, and it will again start at the same left position as the first circuit.
+ The default vertical distance is given by \style{/yquant/group/line separation}, but it may be overwritten by the optional \tex!<separation>! argument, which must be a \TeX{} dimension.
+
+ Note that if you \emph{set} new alignment marks in a new line, this will delete the alignment marks that were previously set.
+
+ If the option \style{/yquant/group/aligned} is passed to the \tex!yquantgroup! environment, the command \tex!\shiftright! is implied after each linebreak.
+
+ \paragraph*{\tex!\shiftright*[<where>]!}
+ The \tex!\shiftright! command will put the ``cursor,'' i.e., the horizontal position at which the next \tex!\circuit! or \tex!\equals! will start, at the position specified by \tex!<where>!.
+ By default, \tex!<where>! is \tex!1!.
+ If the optional star is present, \Yquant{} will additionally put an alignment mark at this position (see the documentation for \hyperref[sec:foreign:groups:equals]{\tex!\equals!}).
+ If the option \style{/yquant/group/aligned} is passed to the \tex!yquantgroup! environment, the command \tex!\shiftright! is implied after each linebreak or starred page break.
+
+ The option \tex!<where>! can take various forms:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item It may be a natural number \texttt{1}, \texttt{2}, \dots, denoting the number of an alignment mark specified in a previous line.
+ \item It may be the number \texttt{0}, denoting the very beginning of the line; this is useful if the \style{/yquant/group/aligned} option is given, but for a specific line, no alignment should be performed.
+ \item It may be a \TeX{} dimension, in which case this dimension is directly added to the cursor (so it is a relative value).
+ This is where passing the optional star makes most sense.
+ If you want to position absolutely, you may first issue \tex!\shiftright[0]! followed by a shift by the dimension that you want.
+ \end{itemize}
+
+ \begin{warning}
+ The macro is named \tex!\shiftright!; however, \Yquant{} does not enforce that the actual position is to the right of the current position.
+ You may indeed be able to create overlapping circuits if you shift back to a previous position.
+ \end{warning}
+
+ \paragraph*{\tex!\pagebreak*!, \tex!\newpage*!, \tex!\clearpage*!, \tex!\cleardoublepage*!}
+ The page breaking commands are available only if the \tex!yquantgroup! was not enclosed in a \tex!tikzpicture!.
+ They will end the current picture environment, issue the original page breaking command, and start a new picture.
+ Hence, if you want to pass options globally to the picture, you should use the \style{/yquant/preamble} option for the \tex!yquantgroup!; the content of this key will be passed as options for every implicitly started \tex!tikzpicture!.
+
+ Usually, remembering the horizontal alignment marks on a new page does not make much sense.
+ For this reason, the commands will delete all alignment; use their starred versions to retain them.
+ If the option \style{/yquant/group/aligned} is passed to the \tex!yquantgroup! environment, the command \tex!\shiftright! is implied after the starred version of the page break.
+
+ Typically, you will not want to refer to named gates in a circuit on a different page; remember that if you need this feature, you must pass the \texttt{remember picture} key in the \style{/yquant/preamble} option, as this is a reference to another \tex!tikzpicture!.
+ Also don't forget to use the (\TikZ) \texttt{overlay} key on the corresponding path that references the node in order not to mess up with the bounding box (see the \TikZ{} documentation for those two keys).
+
+ \subsubsection{Configuration}
+ Loading the \pkg{groups} language extension will define several new configuration keys.
+
+ \begin{option}{group/every group}!!
+ Style that is installed for every \tex!yquantgroup! and \tex!yquantgroup*! environment, as if it had been given as an option.
+ The style's default path is \texttt{/tikz}.
+ \end{option}
+
+ \begin{option}{group/line separation}!5mm!
+ This is the default vertical line separation that is inserted whenever a new line is issued in a \tex!yquantgroup!.
+ \end{option}
+
+ \begin{option}{group/aligned}!false!
+ This boolean flag defines whether \tex!\shiftright! is automatically issued after \tex!\\! and the starred page breaking commands.
+ \end{option}
+
+ \begin{option}{preamble}!!
+ This style may only be passed to the \tex!yquantgroup! alignment directly as an option; it is not available via \tex!\yquantset! and the like.
+ It is only relevant if the \tex!yquantgroup! is not contained in a \tex!tikzpicture!.
+ The content of this style will be given as an optional argument to the \tex!tikzpicture!; this is the recommended way to specify \TikZ{} options, as they are automatically preserved among page breaks.
+ \end{option}
+
+ \begin{option}{operators/every group circuit}!/yquant/operators/every subcircuit, /yquant/operators/subcircuit/frameless, /yquant/operators/subcircuit/name mangling=transparent!
+ This style is installed for the \gate{subcircuit} that implicitly wraps each \tex!\circuit!.
+ Note that some magic is carried out to ensure that the name mangling setting only applies to the \emph{direct} content of the \tex!\circuit!; any \gate{subcircuit}s within the \tex!\circuit! will use the default name mangling scheme.
+ \end{option}
+
+ \begin{option}{operators/every group equals}!shape=yquant-rectangle, align=center, inner xsep=1mm, x radius=2mm, y radius=2.47mm!
+ This style is installed for every \tex!\equals!, which is internally realized similarly to a \gate{box} gate.
+ \end{option}
+
+ \subsubsection{Gates and operations}
+ No gates or operations may be used directly within the \tex!yquantgroup! environment, but all the usual \Yquant{} gates and operations are available within \tex!\registers! and \tex!\circuit!.
+ Additionally, within \tex!\circuit!, the \gate{import} gate is available.
+
+ \paragraph*{\yquant!import!}\label{gate:import}\leavevmode\\
+ Syntax: \yquant!import <target>;! \\
+ This is a pseudo\hyp gate that makes all the outer registers given in \tex!<target>! available in the current circuit.
+ Consequently, the register names that are specified in \tex!<target>!, also ranges, do not refer to the registers in the \emph{current} \tex!\circuit!, but instead to those defined via \tex!\registers!.
+ Therefore, it is for example possible to import all outer registers at once using \yquant!import -;!.
+ Vector registers can also be imported partially.
+
+ If additional content (\TeX{} commands such as \TikZ{} paths, non\hyp creation gates) is used within \tex!\registers!, everything that comes \emph{before} the declaration of a register will be copied into the \tex!\circuit! when the register is imported; for a vector, this refers to the index zero.
+ Additionally, any additional content that comes \emph{after} the declaration of the last register will be copied directly after the last register was imported.
+
+ \begin{warning}[Out-of-order importing]
+ Note that it is principle possible to import registers out\hyp of\hyp order.
+ Since matching outer and inner wires in subcircuits is done in the order in which they appear, this will lead to inner registers with names that do not match their outer registers and is probably highly undesirable.
+ \end{warning}
+
+ Usually, this gate will not be needed as \Yquant{} will automatically import an outer register upon its first use.
+
+ \emph{Possible attributes:} none

\subsection*{2021-03-27: Version 0.4}
New gate: \gate{inspect}. Various bug fixes. \\
Introduce the \texttt{direct control} feature: \gate{measure} gates can now substitute positive controls of future gates.
-
+
\subsection*{2021-07-03: Version 0.4.1}
Fix \href{https://github.com/projekter/yquant/issues/9}{\#9}: Output bracket misaligned. \\
Fix \href{https://github.com/projekter/yquant/issues/10}{\#10}: Unable to access node in subcircuit. As of this version, named nodes in subcircuits will also be properly aliased if there is only a single target subcircuit (so that you don't need to use the \texttt{-0} suffix for the subcircuit's name).
+
+ \subsection*{2021-08-17: Version 0.5}
+ Improvement: Active outer canvas transformations (\TikZ{} shifts, scalings, rotations) should be supported more nicely (no guarantees!). \\
+ Improvement: Custom gates (\tex!\yquantdefinegate!) can now contain \TikZ{} \tex!\path!\hyp like commands without the \tex!\noexpand! prefix. \\
+ Improvement: Automatically discard wires \emph{inside} a subcircuit (even if they had the \texttt{out} or \texttt{inout} attribute) if they are discarded directly after the subcircuit \emph{and} they have output gates within the subcircuit (else, the wire would be re\hyp drawn from the output to the border of the subcircuit). \\
+ Bugfix: Referencing named gates in nested subcircuits now works without producing an error (worked before, but gave errors). \\
+ Bugfix: Properly handle the \texttt{direct control} feature if it was specified, but not used until the end of the (sub)circuit. \\
+ Introduce name mangling options for subcircuits. \\
+ Implement \href{https://github.com/projekter/yquant/issues/11}{\#11}: Circuit equations. As of this version, the \pkg{groups} language is available that allows to easily implement circuit equations.
