Abstract
We provide a module-theoretic interpretation of the expansion formula given in [11], which defines a map on perfect matchings to compute the expansion of quantum cluster variables in quantum cluster algebras arising from unpunctured surfaces. In addition, we present a multiplication formula for string modules with one-dimensional extension spaces, derived using the skein relation. For the Kronecker type, an alternative expansion formula was given in [20], and we show that the two expansion formulas coincide.
