Abstract

Two-dimensional topological order has caught much attention in connection to topological phases of matter and topological quantum computation, in particular. It is known that tensor networks are useful tools to study mathematical structures appearing in these topics. We present recent understanding of them from a viewpoint of operator algebras. No knowledge on operator algebras are assumed.
