abstract = {Condensed matter physics is currently undergoing a
revolution through the introduction of concepts arising from
topology that are used to characterize physical states,
fields and properties from a completely different
perspective. With the introduction of topology, the
perspective is changed from describing complex systems in
terms of local order parameters to a characterization by
global quantities, which are measured nonlocally and which
endow the systems with a global stability to perturbations.
Prominent examples are topological insulators, skyrmions and
Majorana fermions. Since topology translates into
quantization, and topological order to entanglement, this
ongoing revolution has impact on fields like mathematics,
materials science, nanoelectronics and quantum information
resulting in new device concepts enabling computations
without dissipation of energy or enabling the possibility of
realizing platforms for topological quantum computation, and
ultimately reaching out into applications. Thus, these new
exciting scientific developments and their applications are
closely related to the grand challenges in information and
communication technology and energy saving. Topology is the
branch of mathematics that deals with properties of spaces
that are invariant under smooth deformations. It provides
newly appreciated mathematical tools in condensed matter
physics that are currently revolutionizing the field of
quantum matter and materials. Topology dictates that if two
different Hamiltonians can be smoothly deformed into each
other they give rise to many common physical properties and
their states are homotopy invariant. Thus, topological
invariance, which is often protected by discrete symmetries,
provides some robustness that translates into the
quantization of properties; such a robust quantization
motivates the search and discovery of new topological
matter. So far, the mainstream of modern topological
condensed matter physics relies on two profoundly different
scenarios: the emergence of the complex topology either in
real space, as manifested e.g. in non-trivial magnetic
structures or in momentum space, finding its realization in
such materials as topological and Chern insulators. The
latter renowned class of solids attracted considerable
attention in recent years owing to its fascinating
properties of spin-momentum locking, emergence of
topologically protected surface/edge states governed by
Dirac physics, as well as the quantization of Hall
conductance and the discovery of the quantum spin Hall
effect. Historically, the discovery of topological
insulators gave rise to the discovery of a whole plethora of
topologically non-trivial materials such asWeyl semimetals
or topological superconductors, relevant in the context of
the realization of Majorana fermions and topological quantum
computation. [...]},
