Description
During the last decade, experiments have established the
existence of unconventional states of matter in a variety of
low-dimensional quantum systems. This includes
equilibrium states characterized by topological properties as
well as stationary states in and out of equilibrium situations.
In this Talk, we focus on topological phases of matter, their
experimental signatures, and possible ways of utilizing them
as platforms for topologically protected quantum
computation. With the important progress on the quantum
control of light-matter interaction, one can now also
engineer very tunable artificial complex quantum networks.
We pedagogically introduce novel topological phases in
correlated materials and artificial quantum networks, such
as in cavity/circuit QED systems and cold atoms.
