Abstract: Over the past decade, the role of topology in shaping the behavior of low-energy quasiparticles of a quantum system has been actively studied. Several well known materias such as graphene, various topological insulators, and Weyl semimetals hosts such quasiparticles. In this talk I am going to address the signature of topology in transport of ballistic junctions of these materials and discuss possible experimental realization of these junctions.
