In this short work we prove that the Hilbert Grassmannians endowed with the weak topology are models for the classifying spaces of the unitary groups. As application of this result one can use Hilbert Grassmannians for the presentation of the $K$-theory of topological spaces by computing equivalences classes of homotopy equivalent maps.

A scheme for topological phases of the Weyl $C^*$-algebra
A classification scheme for topological phases is defined via homotopy classes of sections of pure-state fiber bundles over the Weyl C*-algebra, recovering K-theory results for symmetry classes A and AI.
