Title:
Realization of TQFTs in Nature and topological quantum computation

Speaker:
Zhenghan Wang

Abstract:
Topological quantum computation is based on the possibility of realization of TQFTs in Nature as topological phases of matter. It is very difficult to classify topological phases of matter theoretically, and find non-abelian objects in Nature. This talk is an introduction to the subject for a general audience.
