Topological Quantum Information Theory
by
Louis H. Kauffman
University of Illinois at Chicago
Coauthors: Samuel J. Lomonaco Jr.

This abstract applies to a sequence of two talks. These talks will discuss the role of quantum topology and categorical structures related to quantum topology in the fields of quantum computing and quantum information theory. We will begin with a review of basic quantum information theory and the elements of diagrammatic and categorical approaches to quantum topology We then weave correspondences between these fields, discussing teleportation, topological gate construction, topological quantum computing and quantum knots.
