The work in this thesis is dedicated to creating and manipulating topological states of matter in condensed matter systems through the use of external fields. In particular, the research in this dissertation is focused on topological superconductors and topological insulators. These states of matter are of interest because of their unique edge-states. In a topological superconductor the edge-states are Majorana modes and have potential applications in quantum computation. Meanwhile, in a topological insulator the edge-states amount to counter propagating, helical channels with interesting transport and photo-voltaic properties. Topological states of matter are also of interest for more fundamental reasons. This is because they represent a s...
