Abstract
Quasiparticles in a superconductor or superfluid may have an energy gap as that for a band insulator. The quasiparticle bands can be topologically trivial or non-trivial. Topological superconductors and superfluids have topological nontrivial bands, and possess the edge states or surface states just like topological insulators. Superfluid phases in liquid helium 3 are topological ones. Spin-triplet superconductors are potential candidates for topological superconductors.
