Quantinuum Publications

A repository for tracking publications produced by the Quantinuum teams.

This project is set up for both business and technical teams. The business teams are using this for tracking and keeping the Quantinuum website up to date while the technical teams may use the latex files for pulling in to their research papers.

Project Organization

• The csv folder contains csv files with publications in a format suitable for the website or sharing. These files are auto-generated by a Github action when a new Pull Request is created. There is no need to edit anything in this folder.
• The latex folder contains BibTex files by topic as found on the website. This folder contains the files that should be edited when new articles are added.

Contributing

The steps for adding to this project are as follows:

• Add publication in a BibTex file in the latex folder.
• Create a Pull Request in Github with the change. Do not edit any items in the csv folder!! A Github action has been set up to automatically create csv files from bib files when a PR is created.

Updates

You are welcome to contribute and add your publications in the appropriate folder as long as you follow the guidelines below.

• Publications will be checked and added once a month.
• About once a quarter, arXiv publications will be checked to see if any have now been published in a journal.

Formatting Guidelines for .bib files

Here are a few notes on how the .bib files are organized and formatted, to keep new entries consistent.

Chronological Ordering: Oldest to Newest

Entries are given in chronological order with oldest articles at the top, newest articles at the bottom. While this isn't necessary for LaTex, this will help keep straight which articles have been added yet or not.

Month Field

Note the month field should be present, in numeric version of the month listed. If the month listed is {Apr}, the field should be updated to {4}.

Abstract Field

If an abstract field exists, remove it.

Format

Make sure entries are surrounded by 1 set of curly braces. Sometimes there are no braces while other times entries have double braces. year = {2022}

Exporting Citations from arXiv

If you click on Export BibTex Citation on an article page on arXiv, note that the BibTex type is misc. Update this to article. In addition, the ordering of the entries doesn't follow the ordering here. Make sure to update this and add the month entry in numeric format.

Updating arXiv References once Published

Once a journal has been accepted, such as to the American Physical Society (APS) or Nature, any previously entered arXiv references should be replaced. Note that the order should be updated to align with the journal's publishing date.

Checking if Articles have been Published in a Journal

The easiest way to check if a paper on arXiv has been published in a journal is to click on Google Scholar on the paper's arXiv page. This is on the right-hand side under References & Citations. This will bring you to a page listing the article on Google Scholar. Under the paper abstract click "All XX versions" where XX is the number of versions Google Scholar found. This will bring you to a page where all websites where the article is available on the web is listed. Look for true peer-reviewed journals such as Phys Rev. and Nature. You may update the reference for any articles that have now been published in peer-reviewed journals.

Creating Website File

A Jupyter notebook called create-csv.ipynb is located in the csv folder. This notebook assumes you are running the it from the csv folder. Inside the noteboook are cells for converting the .bib file to .csv. The python installations you need to run the notebook are in the requirements.txt file.
