Description
Summary: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 topi.
