Topological Phases of Matter and Quantum Computation
Share this pageEdited by Paul Bruillard; Carlos Ortiz Marrero; Julia Plavnik
This volume contains the proceedings of the
AMS Special Session on Topological Phases of Matter and Quantum
Computation, held from September 24–25, 2016, at Bowdoin College,
Brunswick, Maine.
Topological quantum computing has exploded in popularity in recent
years. Sitting at the triple point between mathematics, physics, and
computer science, it has the potential to revolutionize
sub-disciplines in these fields. The academic importance of this field
has been recognized in physics through the 2016 Nobel Prize. In
mathematics, some of the 1990 Fields Medals were awarded for
developments in topics that nowadays are fundamental tools for the
study of topological quantum computation. Moreover, the practical
importance of this discipline has been underscored by recent industry
investments.
The relative youth of this field combined with a high degree of
interest in it makes now an excellent time to get
involved. Furthermore, the cross-disciplinary nature of topological
quantum computing provides an unprecedented number of opportunities
for cross-pollination of mathematics, physics, and computer
science. This can be seen in the variety of works contained in this
volume. With articles coming from mathematics, physics, and computer
science, this volume aims to provide a taste of different
sub-disciplines for novices and a wealth of new perspectives for
veteran researchers. Regardless of your point of entry into
topological quantum computing or your experience level, this volume
has something for you.
Readership
Graduate students and research mathematicians interested in quantum computation, quantum field theories, and topological quantum computation.
