In this talk, I will explain how to build from a classical rational spectral curve (P(x,y)=0) a "quantum curve" P(x,\hbar\partial_x)\Psi=0 using the Chekhov-Eynard-Orantin topological recursion. The strategy is to regroup the correlation functions generated by the topological recursion into a matrix wave function \Psi and show that it satisfies a rational linear differential system with the same pole structure as the initial curve. In the hyper-elliptic case, we explain why this procedure is naturally connected with isomonodromic deformations and recovers the standard Lax pair formulations (Painlevé). The talk is mostly based on arxiv:1911.07739 with N. Orantin.
