So I'm wonder

How does the annihilation occur? Does the quarks pair up like magnets for matter and antimatter? Do matter and antimatter have the same quarks?

Right I was thinking maybe quarks and antiquarks pair up before they annihilate each other, maybe the reaction is too fast to be captured? Quantum field theory would be a hard one

P.S. Actually I found it on Wikipedia, thanks!
