Math display errors in circuit_generation_example.ipynb

Hi 👋

I was having a look at the notebook circuit_generation_example.ipynb (https://github.com/CQCL/pytket/blob/master/examples/circuit_generation_example.ipynb) and I found two minor math display errors in two equations. In details:

  1. line 357: there is a \\frac12 instead of \\frac{1}{2}, which outputs an erroneous Rz rotation with a "-12/i" instead of "-1/2 * i";
  2. line 579: same as before, \\frac12 instead of \\frac{1}{2}, which creates some problem with the brackets in the equation.

Didn't know if opening a PR would be the best thing to do in this case for you, so I opened an issue. Hope that's fine 😅

Hi, thanks for pointing this out! It seems that although \frac12 works in LaTeX as parsed by TeX, it doesn't render as intended in the notebook and we have to put in the braces...

Fixed!

Glad to help :D
Actually, didn't know Tex parsed \frac12 correctly. I've wasted so many braces then!
Good to know, thanks! :)
