The content will revolve around the modern applications
of quantum topology to quantum information and condensed matter, with some
comments about the ‘prehistory’ of these new developments.
I will use very general and conceptual ideas with little
technical details in the first half or so. The main topics will be on what
topology tries to solve in quantum information and what new quantum states of
matter are consequences of these applications, namely: topological orders and
topological insulators/superconductors.
I will make emphasis in their similarities and
differences. I will use plain words and basic/fundamental facts. I will
introduce modern applications of thermal and noise effects on topological
systems as an example.
