Knot Logic and Majorana Fermions
Kauffman Louis |
|
Abstract:
We discuss topological quantum computing from the point of view of knot theory and we discuss knot theory from the point of view of form and knot logic. This means that we do not begin with three dimensional space and subspace placement as the source of the knot theory. Rather we begin with the notion of distinction and how that notion gives rise to concepts of logic, of boundaries, of very elementary algebras, self-referential structures and the beginnings of both topology and geometry. Starting the discussion of foundations from such a place means that there are many pathways outward from very simple structures, and we can only sketch some of them. Nevertheless, we will discuss the belt trick, non-locality, Majorana fermions and the Fibonacci model for topological quantum computing that is related to the quantum Hall effect.
