An important current theme in condensed matter physics is to understand the roles of topology in the quantum mechanics of solid-state systems. In particular, novel quantum effects which emerge as consequences of nontrivial topology in the quantum-mechanical wavefunctions are of fundamental interest, not only because they allow for deeper understanding of nature, but also because they would lead to useful applications that may revolutionize the information technology. This course is aimed at presenting the basic theoretical framework of topological matter (such as topological insulators and topological superconductors) and showing how they are relevant to actual materials and their applications in quantum computing.

Topics covered are
• Topology in quantum mechanics
• Berry phase and Chern number
• Topological insulators
• Topological superconductors
• Majorana fermions
• Basics of quantum computing
• Topological quantum bits (qubits)
Basic knowledge of condensed matter physics and advanced quantum mechanics
Understand the concept of topological matter and its application in quantum computing
