Description
Topological states of matter which can be understood
at the level of quadratic Hamiltonians have been in the
spotlight of condensed matter physics in recent years
and also the cold atoms community is currently
developing a major focus on this topic. In this talk, the
fundamental notion of topological states of matter is
reviewed in an accessible way. Furthermore, some very
recent developments are discussed which open new
perspectives that are peculiar to cold atom systems
where both interactions and quantum dissipation
can be engineered.
