I did my masters thesis at Stellenbosch University in South Africa on quantum computing applications and experimental optics under the supervision of Mark Tame.
This template is amalgamation of a few beautiful documents mostly found over at Showcases of beautiful typography in LaTeX and across the interwebs:
- Castel's thesis
- Turon's thesis
- Eivind Uggedal's thesis
- Gabriel Hjort Blindell's thesis
- Levi Bishop's thesis
- This thesis was typeset using
XeTeXand based on Tufte's Beautiful Evidence. - The ornaments in title and colophon page are from the package
