چکیده
We analyze the connections between the mathematical theory of knots and quantum physics by addressing a number of algorithmic questions related to both knots and braid groups. Knots can be distinguished by means of ‘knot invariants’, among which the Jones polynomial plays a prominent role, since it can be associated with observables in topological quantum field theory. Although the problem of computing the Jones polynomial is intractable in the framework of classical complexity theory, it has been recently recognized that a quantum computer is capable of approximating it in an efficient way. The quantum algorithms discussed here represent a breakthrough for quantum computation, since approximating the Jones polynomial is actually a ‘universal problem’, namely the hardest problem that a quantum computer can efficiently handle.

The Design of Knitting Dress and the Development Orientation of Knitting Enterprises
At present, in the fashion domain, the uniform advantage of tatting products have been broken by knitting products which suddenly rise and partly occupy the market, so the situation that knitting products and tatting products occupy the market together begins to form. Because of their own characters of knitting dress or tatting dress, they can not be replaced. But in future, the knitting dress ...
متن کاملDomain Specific Language for Modular Knitting Pattern Definitions: Purl
Purl is a language to be used for modular definition and verification of knitting patterns. The syntax is similar to the standard knitting pattern notation provided by the Craft Yarn Council. Purl provides constructs not available in the standard notation to allow reuse of segments of patterns. This report describes the basics of knitting and hand-knitting patterns. A knitting pattern language ...
متن کاملKnitting Practice in Korea: A Geography of Everyday Experiences
The recent resurgence of knitting is an ambiguous social phenomenon because it has pre-industrial connotations in late modern society. Knitting is inherently an ambiguous practice which blurs the boundary between production and consumption, the material and the mental and subject and object. This paper explores Korean knitting practice from the angle of social practice. An examination of knitti...
متن کاملKnitting a 3D Model
A knitted animal is made of a closed surface consisting of several knitted patches knitted out of yarn and stuffed with cotton (Fig. 1). We introduce a system to create a knitting pattern from a given 3D surface model (mainly designed for rotund animal models). A knitting pattern is an instructional diagram describing how to knit yarn to obtain a desired shape. Since the creation of knitting pa...

Circular knitting machine makes the fabric with more than two knitting tools. Variation of yarn tension between different knitting tools causes different loop length of stitches duration knitting process. In this research, a new intelligent method is applied to control loop length of stitches in various tools based on ideal shape of stitches and real angle of stitches direction while different ...
متن کاملKnitting algorithm for calculating Green functions in quantum systems
We propose a fast and versatile algorithm to calculate local and transport properties such as conductance, shot noise, local density of state, and local currents in mesoscopic quantum systems. Within the nonequilibrium Green function formalism, we generalize the recursive Green function technique to tackle multiterminal devices with arbitrary geometries. We apply our method to analyze two recen...
