Indefinite Causal Structure
There has been a surge of interest in indefinite causal structure, the idea that cause and effect can no longer be sharply distinguished. Motivated both by experimentation with quantum switches...

Hopf Algebras in Kitaev's Quantum Double Models: Mathematical Connections from Gauge Theory to Topological Quantum Computing and Categorical Quantum Mechanics
The Kitaev quantum double models are a family of topologically ordered spin models originally proposed to exploit the novel condensed matter phenomenology of topological phases for fault-tolerant quantum computation. Their...
