Electrons in Twisted Layers: Design, Surprise, and a New Set of Eyes

Explore a 46-minute conference talk on electrons in twisted layers, presented by David Goldhaber Gordon from Stanford University at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. Delve into the design, surprises, and new perspectives in the field of moiré materials, a cutting-edge area offering unprecedented tunability for band structure, symmetry, and topology. Gain insights into pressing theoretical questions surrounding moiré materials, including the origin of superconductivity, the nature of correlated states, and the role of topology. Learn about experimental challenges and novel techniques in this rapidly evolving field. Discover emerging tunable platforms such as twisted superconductors, topological surface states, quasi-periodic moiré systems, and twisted magnetic materials. Recorded as part of the "Moiré materials: A New Paradigm in Tunable Quantum Matter" conference, this talk contributes to the broader discussion on the potential of moiré materials in advancing our understanding of quantum matter.
