New relations for the vertex polynomial

Scott Baldridge, Ben McCarty

We extend the vertex polynomial to graphs of arbitrary degree and prove local relations that hold when a graph contains a digon, triangle, quadrilateral or pentagon.

A counterexample for the polar conjecture of Spencer-Brown

Scott Baldridge, Louis H. Kauffman, Ben McCarty

In 1976, George Spencer-Brown announced a proof of the four color theorem, using operations on Tait colorings for trivalent plane graphs. In subsequent work he formulated these ope…

New relations for the Penrose polynomial

Scott Baldridge, Ben McCarty

We introduce two new relations involving the pentagon and the quadrilateral for the evaluation of the Penrose polynomial at that is proven using a new type of ribbon graph po…

Enhance Quantum Teleportation with Multi-Axis Measurement

Junyao Zhang, Jonathan Ku, Zhiding Liang +3

Quantum teleportation is a cornerstone of quantum information processing, enabling the nonlocal transmission of quantum states across arbitrary distances using shared entanglement…

A new way to prove configuration reducibility using gauge theory

Scott Baldridge, Ben McCarty

We show how ideas coming out of gauge theory can be used to prove configurations in the list of ``633 unavoidable configurations" are reducible. In this paper, we prove the smalles…

Quantum state systems that count perfect matchings

Scott Baldridge, Ben McCarty

In this paper we show how to categorify the -color vertex polynomial, which is based upon one of Roger Penrose's formulas for counting the number of -edge colorings of a plan…
