Abstract

Recently there has been a convergence of ideas from quantum condensed matter, quantum field theory, and quantum information theory in the study of topological phases of matter.  I will give a pedagogical overview of some of these ideas, and then describe recent progress my collaborators and I have made in understanding these phases.
