Topological Matter: From Basic to Advanced (TMS17)

Topology and lattice symmetries play a key role in determining matter states and their associated internal order. These so-called topological states of matters are of fundamental interest, since they entail exotic electronic behaviors. The study and prediction of materials with novel topological properties has become a vibrant field of research over the past few years. The 2017 school includes a session explaining practically how to perform a numerical quantum transport calculation of topological systems with KWANT. It includes also a review session of the major experimental achievements in the field. Finally, there is a special session about the connection between high energy physics and the field of topological matter.
