Summary: Acting within the framework of the geometric quantum mechanics, we give a Jacobi field interpretation of the quantum mechanical uncertainty. Then a link with elliptic curves via the classical integrability of Schrödinger dynamics and the cross ratio interpretation of quantum probabilities is established. Furthermore a geometrical construction of all special unitary representations of the three-strand braid group on the quantum one-qubit space is provided.For the entire collection see [Zbl 1108.53003].
