A Rigorous Perspective on Liouville Quantum Gravity & KPZ
Polyakov first understood in 1981 that the summation over random Riemannian metrics involved in transition amplitudes in gauge theory or string theory could be represented mathematically by the now celebrated Liouville theory of quantum gravity.…

Topological Quantum Computing
Quantum computers should be capable of performing tasks that would be very difficult, if not impossible, with digital computers, such as finding the prime factors of large numbers, searching large databases, and simulating quantum systems.…
