We spell out the precise relation between 3-manifold/knot invariants and the model of topological quantum computing discussed in the previous several meetings.

We discuss extended (2+1)-dimensional TQFTs, and show how the structure of an extended TQFT allows us to localize the state spaces of surfaces by cutting them up into subsurfaces.

Continuing to follow Kitaev, we consider the toric code as the ground state space of a Hamiltonian constructed from the vertex and plaquette operators. The other eigenspaces of this Hamiltonian are…

I begin a probably-too-zoomed-out overview of the historical development of ideas that begin with topological quantum field theory (TQFT) and lead to topological quantum computation (TQC). A list of…
