In 1969, Adler and Bell-Jackiw predicted the phenomenon now called quantum (ABJ) anomaly, which is the breaking or deformation of conservation law associated to a classical symmetry.

Fast forward to 2010s, it is understood that this phenomenon is closed related by the symmetry protected topological phase (SPT) proposed by X.G. Wen, promoting interactions between QFT theorists and condensed matter theorists.

In this talk I would like to review how those interdisciplinary interactions has been developed from modern viewpoint, and also show show the trend continues in the recent research.
