This course aims to introduce researchers in the fields of condensed matter and quantum information to the quantum phases of condensed matter, such as superconductors and topological insulators, as potential substrates for quantum information processing. The course will cover topics such as quantum computation basics, quantum Hall effects, chiral edge states, fractional charges, superconductivity, non-abelian anyons, and parafermions in fractional quantum Hall states. The teaching method includes a set of courses to educate each community in the other's specialty, interspersed with research talks to highlight the integration of concepts from both fields in cutting-edge research. The intended audience includes condensed matter researchers interested in quantum computation and quantum information researchers looking to understand suitable condensed matter systems for quantum information processing.
