Abstract: Holomorphic quantum modular forms arose naturally from asymptotic questions of quantum invariants in dimension three. HQMFs,along with resurgence and p-adic analytic continuation are three known realizations of functions that appear in mathematical physics. I will give a historical introduction on the subject, drawn from many years of joint work with Don Zagier, and illustrated with examples of the simplest hyperbolic 3-manifolds.
