Quantum Field Theory (QFT)
provides an efficient model of the Laws of Nature, and serves as a fruitful
tool for investigating the behavior of complex systems. Its applications are
connected to Topological Quantum Field Theory (TQFT).
Recently, topological models emerged as powerful tools for engineering design of robust and fault-tolerant materials, devices and systems.
This
course presents a tutorial introduction to (i) topological superconductors;
(ii) topological insulators;
(iii) topological electronics; and (iv) topological quantum computers.
Lessons learned from topological quantum technologies are being applied
in the design of classical
(v) acoustic, (vi) electromagnetic and (vii) photonic metamaterrials and devices
as well.
Historians
often label epochs of human history according to their material technologies—
the bronze age, the iron age, and, most recently, the silicon age. Visionary observers of recent developments in material science
and engineering are talking
about the “dawn of a topological age”.
The
subject of this course is related to the 2020 Autumn Course on “Quantum
Field Theory (QFT) in Information Technology”, nevertheless, this course can be
comprehended and understood independently.
