SUMMARY:Atlantic Topological Quantum Field Theory Spring School
DESCRIPTION:Topological quantum field theory (TQFT) is a powerful organizing framework for many areas of mathematics and physics. Born from 1980s algebraic topology—through discoveries such as Donaldson invariants and the Jones polynomial—and with quantum physics interpretations initially provided by Atiyah\, Witten\, and others\, TQFTs are today a vital tool for studying quantum matter. TQFTs describe the effective theories of topological insulators\, give frameworks for theories of quantum computing\, and provide an ideal language for understanding symmetries of quantum systems\, including recent developments like higher form and quantum symmetries. TQFTs are thus a valuable and widely applicable tool. This Spring School introduces key aspects of TQFT to early‑ and mid‑career graduate students\, with priority for Atlantic Canadian and traditionally underrepresented groups.
