Abstract

We review the q-deformed spin network approach to Topological Quantum Field Theory and apply these methods to produce unitary representations of the braid groups that are dense in the unitary groups.

Spin Networks and Anyonic Topological Computing II

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 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 here formulate these braid group representations in a form suitable for computation and algebraic work.

q-DEFORMED SPIN NETWORKS, KNOT POLYNOMIALS AND ANYONIC TOPOLOGICAL 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 representations of the braid groups that are dense in the unitary groups. Our methods are rooted in the bracket state sum model for the Jones polynomial. We give our results for a large class of representations based on values for the bracket polynomial that are roots of unity. We make a separate and self-contained study of the quantum universal Fibonacci model in this framework. We apply our results to give quantum algorithms for the computation of the colored Jones polynomials for knots and links, and the Witten–Reshetikhin–Turaev invariant of three manifolds.

Local unitary representations of the braid group and their applications to quantum computing

Colleen Delaney, Eric C. Rowell, Zhenghan Wang

We provide an elementary introduction to topological quantum computation based on the Jones representation of the braid group. We first cover the Burau representation and Alexander polynomial. Then we discuss the Jones representation and Jones polynomial and their application to anyonic quantum computation. Finally we outline the approximation of the Jones polynomial and explicit localizations of braid group representations.
