Graph theory is important in information theory. We introduce a quantization process on graphs and apply the quantized graphs in quantum information. The quon language provides a mathematical theory to study such quantized graphs in a general framework. We give a new method to construct graphical quantum error correcting codes on quantized graphs and characterize all optimal ones. We establish a further connection to geometric group theory and construct quantum low-density parity-check stabilizer codes on the Cayley graphs of groups. Their logical qubits can be encoded by the ground states of newly constructed exactly solvable models with translation-invariant local Hamiltonians. Moreover, the Hamiltonian is gapped in the large limit when the underlying group is infinite.

In this note, we discuss the notion of symmetric self-duality of shaded planar algebras, which allows us to lift shadings on subfactor planar algebras to obtain Z/2Z-graded unitary fusion categories. This finishes the proof that there are unitary fusion categories with fusion graphs 4442 and 3333.

Inspired by the quantum McKay correspondence, we consider the classical ADE Lie theory as a quantum theory over sl2. We introduce anti-symmetric characters for representations of quantum groups and investigate the Fourier duality to study the spectral theory. In the ADE Lie theory, there is a correspondence between the eigenvalues of the Coxeter element and the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix. We formalize related notions and prove such a correspondence for representations of Verlinde algebras of quantum groups: this includes generalized Dynkin diagrams over any simple Lie algebra g at any level k. This answers a recent comment of Terry Gannon on an old question posed by Victor Kac in 1994.

We present the third in the series of papers describing Poisson properties of planar directed networks in the disk or in the annulus. In this paper we concentrate on special networks$N$_{$u,v$}in the disk that correspond to the choice of a pair ($u, v$) of Coxeter elements in the symmetric group$S$_{$n$}and the corresponding networks $N_{u,v}^\circ$ in the annulus. Boundary measurements for$N$_{$u,v$}represent elements of the Coxeter double Bruhat cell$G$^{$u,v$}⊂GL_{$n$}. The Cartan subgroup$H$acts on$G$^{$u,v$}by conjugation. The standard Poisson structure on the space of weights of$N$_{$u,v$}induces a Poisson structure on$G$^{$u,v$}, and hence on the quotient$G$^{$u,v$}/$H$, which makes the latter into the phase space for an appropriate Coxeter–Toda lattice. The boundary measurement for $N_{u,v}^\circ$ is a rational function that coincides up to a non-zero factor with the Weyl function for the boundary measurement for$N$_{$u,v$}. The corresponding Poisson bracket on the space of weights of $N_{u,v}^\circ$ induces a Poisson bracket on the certain space $ {\mathcal{R}_n} $ of rational functions, which appeared previously in the context of Toda flows.
