Thesis Abstract:
The discovery of topological phases of matter marked a paradigm shift in the field of condensed matter physics. We use symmetry arguments as well as quantum information measures to discover and classify new topological states, find appropriate theoretical models to describe them and search for quantum materials in which they can be experimentally realized.
