Abstract
Ultracold atom research presents many avenues to study problems at the forefront of physics. Due to their unprecedented controllability, these systems are ideally suited to explore new exotic states of matter, which is one of the key driving elements of the condensed matter research. One such topic of considerable importance is topological insulators, materials that are insulating in the interior but conduct along the edges. Quantum Hall and its close cousin Quantum Spin Hall states belong to the family of these exotic states and are the subject of this chapter.
