Quantum Topology Project Quantum Topology Project: The objective of the Project are to use topological quantum field theories to explore low-dimensional topological objects. The field theories to be used are combinatorially and algebraically defined, and the emphasis is on numerical computation and detec (Topological) http://www.math.vt.edu/quantum_topology/ Topological Quantum Field Theory, a Progress Report Topological Quantum Field Theory, a Progress Report: A brief introduction to Topological Quantum Field Theory as well as a description of recent progress made in the field is presented.
