Abstract
We review recent progress in the explorations of topological quantum states of matter in iron-based superconductors. In particular, we focus on the nontrivial topology existing in the band structures and superconducting states of iron's 3d orbitals. The basic concepts, models, materials and experimental results are reviewed. The natural integration between topology and high-temperature superconductivity in iron-based superconductors provides great opportunities to study topological superconductivity and Majorana modes at high temperature.
