TITLE: A reading list for topological quantum field theory?
QUESTION [61 upvotes]: Can you suggest a reading list, or at least a few papers that you think would be useful, for a beginner in topological quantum field theory? I know what the curvature of a connection is, know basic algebraic topology, and have some basic background in quantum field theory.
Perhaps others with different backgrounds will also be interested in a reading list on TQFTs, so feel free to ignore my background and suggest material at a variety of levels.

REPLY [6 votes]: This recent paper of 2016 contains a useful introduction to the new development in TQFT for strongly coupled condensed matter system and topological quantum matter in 3-dimensions, 4-dimensions and any dimension. 
The authors point out the relations between quantum Hamiltonian lattice models, the continuum TQFTs and group cohomology/cobordism theory.
