Louis Kauffman has an amazingly unique spin on everything he does. He has a series of surveys of TQC, where he offers his own insights and clarifications along the way, with the one at hand being decidedly the longest:
> Kauffman, Louis H. "Quantum computing and the Jones polynomial." Contemporary Mathematics 305 (2002): 101-138.
> Kauffman, Louis H., and Samuel J. Lomonaco. "Quantum entanglement and topological entanglement." New Journal of Physics 4.1 (2002): 73.
These articles are certainly commitments to read, but offer great perspectives on the field.
