I have been using LaTex lately for my Quantum assignments. I am not too good with it yet. I was wondering if anyone knows how to get the proper font for the quantum numbers

I want the lowercase loopy L that is almost always used for angular momentum, but I can't figure out how to type it.

thanks for the help
