\label{sec:plots}
-Quantum provides a \href{https://jupyter.org/}{Jupyter notebook} based on the widely used \href{https://matplotlib.org/}{matplotlib} library that greatly simplifies the creation of plots that integrate seamlessly with the \texttt{quantumarticle} document class. This is intended as a service to the authors, is \textit{not} mandatory, and currently in beta stage. You can download the \href{https://raw.githubusercontent.com/quantum-journal/quantum-journal/master/quantum-plots.ipynb}{quantum-plots.ipynb} notebook and accompanying \href{https://raw.githubusercontent.com/quantum-journal/quantum-journal/master/quantum-plots.mplstyle}{quantum-plots.mplstyle} file from the \href{https://github.com/quantum-journal/quantum-journal}{quantumarticle GitHub repository}. You only need to specify the font size and paper format that were passed as options to \texttt{quantumarticle} to get plots with fitting font sizes and dimensions.
