Exact WKB for Difference Equations and Quantum Curves

Well-developed tools exist to study the Stokes behavior of WKB solutions of differential equations, and to determine their monodromy behavior. In this talk, we study to what extent these tools can be extended to difference equations. We apply these ideas to the setting of quantum curves in topological string theory.
