Quantum Geometry and Fractional Chern Insulators in Moiré Materials
PCS Institute for Basic Science via YouTube
Overview
Explore the emergence of fractional Chern insulators and novel symmetry breaking states in Moiré materials through this 44-minute lecture by Emil Bergholtz. Delve into the rich playground of flatbands in Moiré materials for studying strongly correlated phases of matter. Examine high-temperature fractional quantum Hall physics, energy scales, and unexplored regimes in experiments. Compare single hole energies to the metric and investigate novel non-FCI physics. Gain insights into the Fubini-Study metric and hole energy while noting that non-Abelian states are yet to be confirmed. Uncover the fascinating world of quantum geometry and its implications in condensed matter physics.
