This project concerns the mathematical underpinnings of topological quantum computation; and some practical aspects of `higher' representation theory. For now see our works on the arXiv for more information. For example https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.07950. There are several local and international collaborators involved in the scientific project (but none are bound to the grant per se).
