We describe a topological ribbon Hopf algebra whose elements are sequences of matrices. The algebra is a quantum version of U(sl_2).

The Kauffman bracket skein as an algebra of observables
We prove that the Kauffman bracket skein algebra of a cylinder over a surface with boundary, defined over complex numbers, is isomorphic to the observables of an appropriate lattice gauge field theory.
