In this talk I will introduce the concept of topology as new means to characterize long range order and its utility for future q uantum computing platforms. To this end\, our group has focused on discover ing new modes and measuring their properties as a means to investigate such states.\n\nI will focus on the combination of topology and superconductivi ty which provides a powerful tool for investigating fundamental physics as well as a route to fault-tolerant quantum computing. Specifically our recen t results demonstrating the presence of Helical Hinge Zero Modes (HHZM) usi ng exfoliated heterostructures in FeTeSe. Time permitting I will briefly to uch on other recent advances in our lab including sensing bacteria with gra phene\, the discovery of an Axial Higgs mode via quantum interference and f ractional spin excitations in RuCl3.
