In this lecture, we discuss the role of geometry and topology in quantum physics. We start with a both phenomenological and formal treatment of geometric (Berry) phases. Building up on these concepts, we study in the framework of quantum many-body physics the theory of topological phases such as topological insulators and superconductors as well as bosonic symmetry protected topological phases.
