Paper on  ArXiv:  If the article is only on the arXiv, using  arXiv:quant-ph/xxxxxxx or arXiv:xxxx.xxxx is sufficient.  If the article is published, but also on the arXiv, put  [arXiv:quant-ph/xxxxxxx] or [arXiv:xxxx.xxxx] at the end of the journal citation.

Thesis:  J. M. Smith, Ph.D. thesis, Brown University, 1980.

Other tips:

• The usual physics package called "revtex" by default will follow the Physical Review style guide. To include the titles of journal articles, the line /bibliographystyle{abbrv}   will work.

• If you use BibTeX, the APS style is the default.

• DOIs are not necessary, but fine if included.  Same for ISBN.
