Sp(n)), QKT (resp. HKT)-spaces. We study the geometry of QKT, HKT manifold and their twistor spaces. We show that the Swann bundle of a QKT manifold admits a HKT structure with special symmetry if and only if the twistor space of the QKT manifold admits an almost hermitian structure with totally skew-symmetric Nijenhuis tensor, thus connecting two structures arising from quantum field theories and supersymmetric sigma models with Wess-Zumino term.LaTeX 17 pages, Corrections in section 6, final version to appear in Crelle's JournalDifferential GeometryHigh Energy Physics - Theory53C25Quaternionic Kähler and hyperKähler manifolds with torsion and twistor spacestext
