Multiplicative unitaries are one of the fundamental objects to study locally compact quantum groups. Roughly, it is a unitary operator that encodes all structures of a locally compact quantum group and its dual. In this talk we shall start from a multiplicative unitary of a locally compact group, and motivate the concept of more general objects namely braided multiplicative unitaries.
