The discovery of topological insulators and superconductors is an important advance in condensed matter physics. Topological phases reflect global properties of the quantum states in materials, and the boundary states are the characteristic of the materials. Such phases constitute a new branch in condensed matter physics. Here a historic development is briefly introduced, and the known family of phases in condensed matter are summarized.link_to_OA_fulltex
