The main topic of this seminar is the theory of non-Abelian anyons. The exotic statistical properties of such excitations make it possible to set up quantum computational schemes based on robust topological properties as those of knots and braids. Although still in its infancy, topological quantum computation promises to be the catalysis for a very productive merging of ideas coming from several fields of physics, mathematics and computer science.
