Magnetism and Superconductivity in Twisted WSe2

Explore the fascinating world of magnetism and superconductivity in twisted WSe2 in this comprehensive lecture by Abhay Pasupathy. Delve into the cutting-edge research on engineered 2D quantum materials, focusing on emergent electronic, magnetic, and topological phenomena in two-dimensional synthetic structures. Learn about the interplay between electronic correlations, spin-orbit coupling, crystal structure, symmetry, and topology in reduced dimensionality systems. Discover how frustrated coupling across 2D interfaces and enhanced interlayer interactions lead to new electronic band structures and emergent behaviors. Gain insights into artificially engineered heterostructures, including oxide interfaces, twisted van der Waals materials, and other novel moire or layered materials. Explore topics such as flat bands, band topology, correlated phenomena, and topological superconductivity in vdW materials. This lecture is part of a broader program that brings together physicists and materials scientists with expertise in materials growth, spectroscopies, transport studies, microscopy, scattering, and various theoretical approaches.
