Quantum algorithms for colored Jones polynomials

Louis Hirsch Kauffman, Samuel J. Lomonaco

We review the q-deformed spin networks and apply these methods to produce unitary representations of the braid groups that are dense in the unitary groups. The simplest case of these models is the Fibonacci model, itself universal for quantum computation. We formulate these braid group representations in a form suitable for computation and algebraic work and apply them to quantum algorithms for the computation of colored Jones polynomials and the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev Invariants.

Spin Networks and Quantum Computation

Louis Hirsch Kauffman, Samuel J. Lomonaco

We review the q-deformed spin network approach to Topological Quantum Field Theory and apply these methods to produce unitary representa- tions of the braid groups that are dense in the unitary groups. The simplest case of these models is the Fibonacci model, itself universal for quantum computa- tion. We here formulate these braid group representations in a form suitable for computation and algebraic work.
