biblatex
I am using biblatex 2.0 and Biber. A multiple-entry citation using \mcite gives as output:
[1] a) Author 1, Phys. Rev. Lett. 11, 1 (2012); b) Author 2,
Phys. Rev. Lett. 22, 2 (2012).
but I would like to have the output like some REVTeX styles, in which consecutive citations on the same journal appears as "ibid."
[1] a) Author 1, Phys. Rev. Lett. 11, 1 (2012); b) Author 2,
ibid. 22, 2 (2012).
Is there a simple way to get this automatically?
you may want to to try \footfullcite instead of \footcite.
[From Audrey] Adding the line:
\newrobustcmd*{\footlessfullcite}{\AtNextCite{\renewbibmacro{title}{}\renewbibmacro{in:}{}}\footfullcite}
in the preamble and the using \footlessfullcite{<entry key>} results in a nice footnote citation.
Using a modified tufte-common.def file you can create tufte-latex documents with biblatex. A limitation is that tufte-latex modifies footnotes. So biblatex features such as \smartcite inside footnotes and footnote detection with \iffootnote may not work as intended. Most of this has already been covered in another post.
As for the citation style, you can get most of the way there with some edits to the textcite bibliography macro and \smartcite. Both of these are defined in numeric.cbx.

One of the most prominent and distinctive features of this style is the
extensive use of sidenotes \autocites(See)()[10--15]{knuth:ct:a}[10]{companion}.
There is a wide margin to provide ample room for sidenotes and small figures
\autocite{knuth:ct:a,knuth:ct:b}. Any footnotes will automatically be converted to
sidenotes.\footnote{Results from \textcite{knuth:ct:a,knuth:ct:b,companion} showed
that...}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
Some notes:
autocite=footnote option setting makes \autocite use \smartcite as its backend citation command.\ifciteseen test needs citation tracking enabled. In the example global tracking is enabled via citetracker=true. Alternative settings are possible. Refer to the manual for details.\usedriver. The first argument to this command allows you to hook code in before printing. This is a good place to suppress fields with \clearfield and friends. In the example, I suppress the pages and pagetotal fields to avoid confusion with page references in postnotes.numeric, \textcite generates compact citation lists. This complicates printing full citations. The edits to textcite take an easy way out by simply replacing the labelname or labeltitle with the full citation.numeric style isn't particularly suited to this customization. Refer to the verbose style or any of its variants for some better alternatives.

Multiple-entry citations via
\mciteand friends are implemented using entry sets. Bibliography items for entry sets are generated by thesetdriver. This driver depends on the style, but in general it contains the code:For each member of the set,
\entrysetexecutes<precode>, theentrytype-specific driver and<postcode>. Theentrysetcountfield keeps track of the entry currently being processed in the set.To introduce abbreviations, you can modify the
setdriver to track the first author list and title. Theauthorandjournalbibliography macros can then perform abbreviations where appropriate.Some notes:
namehashfield uniquely identifies the truncatedlabelnamelist. To consider all names in the list, usefullhashinstead.
