The discovery of unexpected “topological states of mat ter”\, and their possible use for “topologically-protected quantum informa tion processing” is one of the important themes of these developments\, an d will be described.\n\nThis conference will be held in hybrid mode on-sit e and by Zoom.\n\n \n\nON-SITE:\n\nUniversité de Montréal\n\nPavillon Andr é Aisenstadt\n Salle/ Room 1360\n\n2920\, chemin de la tour\, Montréal (Qué bec)\n\n \n\nA reception will follow in the Salon Maurice-Labbé lounge (62 45)\n\n \n\nZOOM :\n\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/83187315679?pwd=bDBlZlJvVG ZzdmU1TnhrbVdxb2pWdz09\n\nMeeting ID: 831 8731 5679\n\nPasscode: 988646\n \n \n\nOrganizers:\n\n** ****\n Joseph Maciejko (University of Alberta)\n\nWilliam Witczak -Krempa (Université de Montréal)\n\nYizhi You (Princeton University)\n\n  \n DTSTART:20220823T193000Z DTEND:20220823T203000Z SUMMARY:F.
