We introduce the basic notions describing topological quantum error correction codes and its extension to quantum computation. The underlying physical systems are strongly correlated systems of particles showing a topological order. These orders can be described by quantum Hamiltonians defined on lattices such that the degeneration of the ground state depends on the lattice topology. These codes gives rise to topological orders with very interesting features.
