We develop general techniques for computing the fundamental group of the configuration space of $n$ identical particles, possessing a generic internal structure, moving on a manifold $M$. This group generalizes the $n$-string braid group of…
We present a general theory of braided quantum groups in the C*-algebraic framework using the language of multiplicative unitaries. Starting with a manageable multiplicative unitary in the representation category of the quantum codouble of…
The three-particle operator in a second quantized form is studied. The operator is transformed into irreducible tensor form. Possible coupling schemes, distinguished by the classes of symmetric group \mathrm{S_{6}}, are presented.…
Quantum entanglement in 3 spatial dimensions is studied in systems with physical boundaries when an entangling surface intersects the boundary. We show that there are universal logarithmic boundary terms in the entanglement R\'{e}nyi…
Topologically ordered phases are gapped states, defined by the properties of excitations when taken around one another. Here we demonstrate a method to extract the statistics and braiding of excitations, given just the set of ground-state…
We use the geometry of the moment map to investigate properties of pure entangled states of composite quantum systems. The orbits of equally entangled states are mapped by the moment map on coadjoint orbits of local transformations (unitary…
In quantum mechanics, observables correspond to Hermitian operators, and the spectra are restricted to be real. However, the dynamics of the underlying fields may allow complex eigenvalues and therefore create the possibility of braiding…
In this paper we obtain a description of the Hermitian operators acting on the Hilbert space $\C^n$, description which gives a complete solution to the over parameterization problem. More precisely we provide an explicit parameterization of…
In this paper we will present some ideas to use 3D topology for quantum computing extending ideas from a previous paper. Topological quantum computing used \textquotedblleft knotted\textquotedblright{} quantum states of topological phases…
This monograph starts with an upper triangular matrix with integer entries and 1's on the diagonal. It develops from this a spectrum of structures, which appear in different contexts, in algebraic geometry, representation theory and the…
Quantum tensor network states and more particularly projected entangled-pair states provide a natural framework for representing ground states of gapped, topologically ordered systems. The defining feature of these representations is that…
We study two sorts of actions on the space of conjugacy classes of irreducible $SU_2$-representations of a knot group. One of them is an involution which comes from the algebraic structure of $SU_2$ and the other is the action by the outer…
A remarkable property of quantum mechanics in two-dimensional (2D) space is its ability to support "anyons," particles that are neither fermions nor bosons. Theory predicts that these exotic excitations can be realized as bound states…
Fibonacci anyons are non-Abelian particles for which braiding is universal for quantum computation. Reichardt has shown how to systematically generate nontrivial braids for three Fibonacci anyons which yield unitary operations with…
We define an invariant of tangles and framed tangles given a finite crossed module and a pair of functions, called a Reidemeister pair, satisfying natural properties. We give several examples of Reidemeister pairs derived from racks,…
Based on the matrix realignment and partial transpose, we develop an approach to entangling power and operator entanglement of quantum unitary operators. We demonstrate efficiency of the approach by studying several unitary operators on…
Topological edge states are recently attracting intense interest due to their robustness in the presence of disorder and defects. However, most approaches for manipulating such states require global modulations of the system's Hamiltonian.…
Loop braid groups characterize the exchange of extended objects, namely loops, in three dimensional space generalizing the notion of braid groups that describe the exchange of point particles in two dimensional space. Their interest in…
A braided monoidal category may be considered a $3$-category with one object and one $1$-morphism. In this paper, we show that, more generally, $3$-categories with one object and $1$-morphisms given by elements of a group $G$ correspond to…
Boyer, Gordon, and Watson have conjectured that an irreducible rational homology 3-sphere is an L-space if and only if its fundamental group is not left-orderable. Since Dehn surgeries on knots in $S^3$ can produce large families of…
