Two-dimensional topological order has caught much attention in

connection to topological phases of matter and topological quantum

computation, in particular. It is known that tensor networks are useful

tools to study mathematical structures appearing in these topics. We

present recent understanding of them from a viewpoint of operator algebras.

No knowledge on operator algebras are assumed.
