The Turaev-Viro invariants are scalar topological invariants of compact, orientable 3-manifolds. We give a quantum algorithm for additively approximating Turaev-Viro invariants of a manifold presented by a Heegaard splitting. The algorithm is motivated by the relationship between topological quantum computers and (2+1)-D topological quantum field theories. Its accuracy is shown to be nontrivial, as the same algorithm, after efficient classical preprocessing, can solve any problem efficiently… Expand

A new notion of obfuscation is proposed, which is based on computationally universal groups with efficiently computable normal forms, and appears to be incomparable with existing definitions, and can be met by polynomial-time algorithms. Expand
