* ABSTRACT
I will give a brief overview of the burgeoning field of topological quantum omputation, with the focus on its potential realization in fractional quantum Hall systems. After a pedagogical introduction on the emergence and braiding of anyons in two-dimensional electron gases in strong magnetic field, I will discuss some of the recent ideas, advances, and difficulties in this area. In particular, experimental research now concentrates on the demonstration of the existence of non-Abelian anyons in the fractional quantum Hall systems with filling fraction 5/2. In addition, I will discuss briefly how to encode and manipulate quantum information in a concrete anyonic system to realize quantum computing.
