The boson-fermion correspondence is an isomorphism between the bosonic Fock space and the fermionic Fock space. We present categorification of the bosonic Fock space and the Heisenberg algebra which is a modification of Khovanov's Heisenberg category. The categorifcation of the fermionic Fock space is based on Honda's category studying contact topology in dimension three.
