Quantum Graphs
* Idea: A quantum graph is a graph considered as a (singular) one-dimensional variety and equipped with a second-order differential Hamiltonian H (a "Laplacian") with suitable conditions at the vertices; They are commonly used as models of complex quantum systems, for example molecules, networks of wires, and states of condensed matter.
