The structure of braid groups on topologically nontrivial surfaces is reviewed. The physical meaning of the braid relations and their implications on quantum mechanical properties of anyonic quasiparticles are discussed. These include not only the exotic statistics of anyons but also the Aharonov-Bohm effect for the anyons on a surface with holes. Several results on the novel properties of anyons or their states, which were previously derived by microscopic considerations, are reproduced by this seemingly kinematic and topology-dependent braid group analysis. It is suggested that in the thermodynamic limit, the global excitations in a system on a surface of nontrivial topology do not interfere with properties of local anyonic quasiparticles.

Unique nanoscale phenomena arise in quantum and mesoscale properties and there are additional intriguing twists from effects that are classical in origin. In this chapter, these are brought forth through an exploration of quantum computation with the important notions of superposition, entanglement, non-locality, cryptography and secure communication. The quantum mesoscale and implications of nonlocality of potential are discussed through Aharonov-Bohm effect, the quantum Hall effect in its various forms including spin, and these are unified through a topological discussion. Single electron effect as a classical phenomenon with Coulomb blockade including in multiple dot systems where charge stability diagrams may be drawn as phase diagram is discussed, and is also extended to explore the even-odd and Kondo consequences for quantum-dot transport. This brings up the self-energy discussion important to nanoscale device understanding.
