Persistent homology (PH) is a method used in topological data analysis (TDA) to study qualitative features of data that persist across multiple scales. It is robust to perturbations of input data, independent of dimensions and coordinates,…

A crucial step in the analysis of persistent homology is the transformation of data into an appropriate topological object (in our case, a simplicial complex). Modern packages for persistent homology often construct Vietoris--Rips or other…

Persistent homology, the study of holes that appear in data as one thickens balls centered around its points over time, has theoretically guaranteed stability. That is, small data perturbations guarantee small changes in the lifetimes of…

In topological quantum computation the geometric details of a particle trajectory are irrelevant; only the topology matters. Taking this one step further, we consider a model of computation that disregards even the topology of the particle…

We study configuration spaces $C(n; p, q)$ of $n$ ordered unit squares in a $p$ by $q$ rectangle. Our goal is to estimate the Betti numbers for large $n$, $j$, $p$, and $q$. We consider sequences of area-normalized coordinates, where…
