What is the difference between the Yang--Baxter equation and the quantum Yang--Baxter equation?
For a vector space $V$ and a linear operator $R:V \otimes V \to V \otimes V$, we say that $R$ satisfies the Yang--Baxter equation if
$$(R\otimes id)(id\otimes R)(R\otimes id)
= (id\otimes R)(R\otimes ...
