Vitalik also has a great blog on [Quadratic Arithmetic Programs](https://medium.com/@VitalikButerin/quadratic-arithmetic-programs-from-zero-to-hero-f6d558cea649)

There are many systems involved in zk like SNARKs, STARKs, PLonks, and more. The two most popular are SNARKs(used in circom) and PLonks(used in Halo2). This research paper titled [Why and How zk-SNARK Works](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1906.07221) gives a very definitive explaination of zk SNARKS and is a must read. Vitalik wrote a [blog](https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2019/09/22/plonk.html) that explains plonks very well.
