Scope of the conference

Symposia on Topological Quantum Information aim at gathering people interested in understanding topological phases, how they emerge in concrete systems, their connections with the theory of quantum computation, and the possibility to use such phases as a robust quantum memory.

The present edition of these symposia is the thirteenth and will take place in Benasque (Spain). General Information about the Benasque Centre for Science and the village of Benasque can be found at http://benasque.org/

The focus will be on the following topics:

A. Quantum Hall Effect

B. Classification of quantum phases

C. Cold atoms and topological phases

D. Topological quantum computing

E. Topological Insulators
