Picturing Quantum Software: An Introduction to the ZX-Calculus and Quantum Compilation (2024). A textbook on quantum compilation, error correction and much more, all built on top of the ZX-calculus. Active quantum computing researchers that want to get fully up to speed on what you can do with ZX-calculus should start here.
