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,
