In mathematics, the "q"-Krawtchouk polynomials are a family of basic hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials in the basic Askey scheme Roelof Koekoek, Peter A. Lesky, and René F. Swarttouw (2010, 14). give a detailed list of their properties.
 showed that the "q"-Krawtchouk polynomials are spherical functions for 3 different Chevalley groups over finite fields, and showed that they are related to representations of the quantum group SU(2).
