= Quantum group
{wiki=Quantum_group}
Quantum groups are mathematical structures that arise in the context of quantum algebra and have applications in various fields, including representation theory, theoretical physics, and algebraic geometry. They generalize the notion of groups and play a crucial role in the study of quantum symmetries, particularly in the context of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. Quantum groups can be thought of as certain deformations of classical Lie groups (or Lie algebras).
