SUMMARY:Topological states of matter - now what? - Tami Pereg-Barnea (McGil
 l)
DESCRIPTION:The interest in topological condensed matter dates back to the 
 early days of the quantum Hall effect in the late 80's.  Further exciteme
 nt has emerged since the discovery of time-reversal invariant topological 
 systems in 2005 and has led to the Nobel prize of 2016\, awarded to some o
 f the field's pioneers - Kosterlitz\, Thouless and Haldane.  The introduc
 tion of topology to the classification of states of matter is arguably one
  of the most important paradigm shifts of our time. We now understand that
  states of matter should be classified not only by their dimensionality an
 d symmetries but also by their topological properties.  In this talk I wi
 ll present a biased view of the advances in the field and the challenges a
 head.  I will organize the discussion in three parts: fundamental\, compl
 ex and applications.  The 'fundamental' part will include research done i
 n the direction of organizing the possible phases of materials and some kn
 own examples.  The 'complex' part will focus on research into topological
  condensed matter systems beyond the clean\, equilibrium and non-interacti
 ng limits and the 'applications' part will discuss driving\, manipulating 
 and realizing topological systems and possible applications.
