| Abstract | Symmetry is a fundamental tool to understand physical and mathematical systems. Classically, symmetries of a system are captured by a collection of invertible self-maps called a group. Collections of certain quantum mathematical objects naturally form higher categories, and thus they admit richer collections of non-invertible or quantum symmetries. Examples of such quantum mathematical objects include algebras of quantum observables and quantum spin systems, which are mathematical models of piec |
