陈-西蒙斯理论

陈-西蒙斯理论（英语：Chern–Simons theory）以陈省身和詹姆斯·哈里斯·西蒙斯的名字命名，描述三维拓扑量子场论，在物理学有很多应用。此理论用陈-西蒙斯形式。

陈省身

陈-西蒙斯理论描述分数量子霍尔效应，导致2016年的物理诺贝尔奖。

经典公式

若（G，M）是主丛，M是流形，G是李群 / 规范群，A是联络，陈西蒙斯作用量是

${\displaystyle S={\frac {k}{4\pi }}\int _{M}{\text{tr}}\,(A\wedge dA+{\tfrac {2}{3}}A\wedge A\wedge A).}$

F是曲率：

${\displaystyle F=dA+A\wedge A\,}$

陈西蒙斯公式用最小作用量原理：

${\displaystyle 0={\frac {\delta S}{\delta A}}={\frac {k}{2\pi }}F.}$

拓扑量子计算机

拓扑量子计算机（英语：Topological quantum computer）是一种量子计算机。陈西蒙斯理论陈述有些拓扑量子计算机（英语：Topological quantum computer）的模型，例如“杨李模型”（Fibonacci model），这是最简单的非阿贝尔任意子拓扑量子计算机（英语：Topological quantum computer）之一。^[2][3]
