The author describes the two main methods for quantising the special linear group \(\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})\). One is a one parameter deformation of the universal enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra \(\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{C})\) as defined by \textit{V. G. Drinfel'd} in his report on quantum groups [Proc. Int. Congr. Math., Berkeley 1986, Vol. 1, 798--820 (1987; Zbl 0667.16003)], the other is a non-commutative deformation of functions on \(\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})\) as formulated by \textit{N. Yu. Reshetikhin}, \textit{L. A. Takhtadzhyan} and \textit{L. D. Faddeev} [Algebra Anal. 1, No. 1, 178--206 (1989; Zbl 0715.17015)], by considering the fundamental representation of the deformed enveloping algebra. Furthermore, an explicit isomorphism between the generators in the quantised algebra as formulated by Faddeev et al. in the paper cited above and that in \(U_q \mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{C})\) as defined by Drinfel'd is obtained. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0723.00031]. Reviewer's remark: P. Polo shows in [\textit{H. H. Andersen}, \textit{P. Polo} and \textit{K. Wen}, Invent. Math. 104, No. 1, 1-59 (1991; Zbl 0724.17012)] that the same conclusion remains valid for \(\mathrm{SL}_n\).
