The topology of four-dimensional manifolds
- M. Freedman
- Mathematics
- 1982
0. Introduction Manifold topology enjoyed a golden age in the late 1950's and 1960's. Of the mysteries still remaining after that period of great success the most compelling seemed to lie in…
Non-Abelian Anyons and Topological Quantum Computation
- C. Nayak, S. Simon, A. Stern, M. Freedman, S. Sarma
- Physics
- 12 July 2007
Topological quantum computation has emerged as one of the most exciting approaches to constructing a fault-tolerant quantum computer. The proposal relies on the existence of topological states of…
Topology of 4-manifolds
- M. Freedman, F. Quinn
- Mathematics
- 1990
One of the great achievements of contemporary mathematics is the new understanding of four dimensions. Michael Freedman and Frank Quinn have been the principals in the geometric and topological…
On the Mobius Energy of Knots and Unknots
- M. Freedman, Zheng-Xu He, Zhenghan Wang

Least area incompressible surfaces in 3-manifolds
- M. Freedman, J. Hass, P. Scott
- Mathematics
- 1 March 1983
Let M be a Riemannian manifold and let F be a closed surface. A map f: F---,M is called least area if the area of f is less than the area of any homotopic map from F to M. Note that least area maps…

Topological Quantum Computation
- M. Freedman, A. Kitaev, M. Larsen, Zhenghan Wang
- Physics
- 4 January 2001
The theory of quantum computation can be constructed from the abstract study of anyonic systems. In mathematical terms, these are unitary topological modular functors. They underlie the Jones poly-…
A Modular Functor Which is Universal¶for Quantum Computation
- M. Freedman, M. Larsen, Zhenghan Wang
- Physics
- 29 January 2000
Abstract:We show that the topological modular functor from Witten–Chern–Simons theory is universal for quantum computation in the sense that a quantum circuit computation can be efficiently…
Scalable designs for quasiparticle-poisoning-protected topological quantum computation with Majorana zero modes
- T. Karzig, Christina Knapp, M. Freedman
- Physics
- 17 October 2016
We present designs for scalable quantum computers composed of qubits encoded in aggregates of four or more Majorana zero modes, realized at the ends of topological superconducting wire segments that…
