Non-associative algebras, Yang-Baxter equations and quantum computers
  Non-associtive algebras is a research direction gaining much attention these days. New developments show that associative algebras and some not-associative structures can be unified at the level of Yang-Baxter structures. In this paper, we present a unification for associative algebras, Jordan algebras and Lie algebras. The (quantum) Yang-Baxter equation and related structures are interesting topics, because they have applications in many areas of mathematics, physics and computer science. Several new interpretations and results are presented below.
