Quantum Triangulations [E-Book] : Moduli Space, Quantum Computing, Non-Linear Sigma Models and Ricci Flow / by Mauro Carfora, Annalisa Marzuoli.
This book discusses key conceptual aspects and explores the connection between triangulated manifolds and quantum physics, using a set of case studies ranging from moduli space theory to quantum computing to provide an accessible introduction to this topic. Research on polyhedral manifolds often rev...
