An introduction to quantum geometry

Quantum geometry describes attempts to find new versions of classical geometry suited one of the major tasks in modern physics: finding a model of the universe that describes both quantum mechanics and gravity. In the linked article, this subject is introduced and explained for the non-specialist, by means of an interview with Prof. Shahn Majid, of Queen Mary, University of London, who has contributed several of the mathematical and physical ideas involved.

Note: Prof. Majid was my doctoral supervisor; my work with him was on the structure of algebraic objects related to quantum geometry, in the field colloquially known as the theory of "quantum groups".
