qubit gates, using \verb=\ctrl= and \verb=\qwx=.
+Sometimes a multi-qubit gate must be applied to qubits which are \emph{not} on adjacent rows (and as such, the \verb=\multigate= command is not suitable). To account for this, the \verb=\sgate= command can be used to ``hook together'' the application of a multi-qubit gate on non-adjacent qubits:
+
+{\scriptsize \begin{verbatim}\\Qcircuit @C=1em @R=.7em {

+Such notation may be a bit confusing, admittedly. An alternative circuit which does use the \verb=\multigate= command would have a step where qubits 2 and 3 above were swapped, then the two-qubit gate $\mathcal{G}$ was applied, and finally the qubits were swapped back.

+Controlled-Z gates, wires with bends, and gates that control-on-zero can all be made using the extended family of control commands. The complete family of control commands is \verb=\ctrl=, \verb=\cctrl=, \verb=\ctrlo=, \verb=\cctrlo=, \verb=\control=, and \verb=\controlo=.
\verb=\ctrlo= is identical to the \verb=\ctrl= command (see \S\ref{S:CNOT}) except that it draws an open bullet (indicating control-on-zero). Both commands place a wire to the left and take one argument indicating which wire to connect to.
+The commands \verb=\cctrl= and \verb=\cctrlo= are identical to the \verb=\ctrl= and \verb=\ctrlo= commands, respectively, except they use \emph{classical wires} instead of quantum ones to do the controlling. These commands may be useful for writing circuits where the gates are conditioned on classical outputs.
+
The commands \verb=\control= and \verb=\controlo= are isolated controls; they don't automatically connect to anything. Isolated controls allow you to decide exactly what connections are made to your control operator, which makes them very useful for working with classical wires and rendering things like the controlled-Z.
Here is an example circuit using various controls.

-
-The simplest way to use qcircuit is to download the file qcircuit.sty and put that file in the same folder as the tex document you are compiling.

-* `qm`: This options provides an inner product `\ip{A}{B}`, an outer product `\op{A}{B}`, a matrix element `{j}{M}{k}`, and an expectation value `\expval{M}`.
-

-=========
-A simple way to check you successfully installed qcircuit is to download the Qtutorial.tex file and run it in your favorite TeX compiler. Should the document compile correctly, you are ready to use qcircuit in your own documents! (Note: By default, we enabled our predefined commands within the document preamble for this file.) By inspecting the figures produced and comparing with the source code, you should obtain an understanding of how to typset your own circuits.
-
-Help
-=======
-
-As the installation instructions indicate, qcircuit must be manually inserted into a users' TeX tree. This presents complications insofar as trees may vary in structure and location across different operating systems. We will be working on making qcircuit a LaTeX package hosted on CTAN such that one simply downloads the package with their favorite package manager, and calls `\usepackage[options]{qcircuit}` to enable functionality. In the meantime, one is simply forced to hack one's way into having this functionality.

+==========

+A quantum circuit drawing application.
+
+The original website for this project may be found on the [qcircuit page](http://physics.unm.edu/CQuIC/Qcircuit/) through the Center for Quantum Information and Control. We use the GitHub [wiki](https://github.com/CQuIC/qcircuit/wiki) pages to make more information about qcircuit available.
+
+We welcome others to fork our project and include enhancements. See the [Issues list](https://github.com/CQuIC/qcircuit/issues?q=is%3Aopen) for requested updates and features.
+
+Installation
+========
+**Dependencies**
+
+qcircuit depends on the [xy-pic](http://www.tug.org/applications/Xy-pic/) and [ifpdf](http://www.ctan.org/pkg/ifpdf) packages.
+
+**Through a TeX package manager**
+
+qcircuit has been added to the Comprehensive Tex Archive Network (CTAN), and so can be accessed through a package manager for your TeX distribution. The package name is `qcircuit`. Should you be inclined to do so, the source files may be downloaded from [this page](http://ctan.org/pkg/qcircuit), though they contain all the same files available through GitHub.
+
+How to use this manager varies from distribution to distribution; there is a [Wikipedia page](https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Installing_Extra_Packages) which describes some of the more common ways to do so.
+
+**Simple Install**
+
+The simplest way to use qcircuit is to download the file `qcircuit.sty` and put that file in the same folder as the tex document you are compiling. Within the document preamble, use `\usepackage[options]{qcircuit}` to enable TeX to compile the circuit. See the Use section of this README for more information.
+
+**More Complicated (but more helpful) Way**
+
+*Note*: Using a TeX package manager takes care of putting the files in the right places in your TeX tree; we recommend users no longer use the approach below, and instead use the manager.
+
+A slightly more complicated way involves putting qcircuit in your TeX tree so that every time you compile your file TeX sees the `qcircuit.sty` file. This avoids the hassle of copying the file all over the place.

For Windows users, this folder is located at `C:\Program Files\texmf\tex\latex\Qcircuit`. To update the tree, run `initexmf --update-fndb` from your command line.
+
+For Linux users, one needs to locate the root TeX directory. Use the command `locate:texmf` to find all directories with a `texmf` folder. Then, after finding an appropriate folder into which `qcircuit.sty` can be put, execute the `texhash` command to update the tree.
