Quantum Geometry and Related Phenomena in 2D Materials

Explore the fascinating world of quantum geometry and related phenomena in 2D materials through this insightful lecture by Umesh Waghmare. Delve into the cutting-edge research on engineered 2D quantum materials, focusing on emergent electronic, magnetic, and topological phenomena in two-dimensional synthetic structures. Discover how reduced dimensionality and the interplay between electronic correlations, spin-orbit coupling, crystal structure, symmetry, and topology lead to novel collective phenomena. Learn about artificially engineered heterostructures, including oxide interfaces, twisted van der Waals materials, and other innovative layered systems. Gain valuable insights into the latest developments in magnetism, topological superconductivity, flat bands, correlated phenomena, and quantum simulators using engineered 2D materials. This 39-minute presentation, part of the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences' program on Engineered 2D Quantum Materials, offers a comprehensive overview of this rapidly evolving field at the intersection of physics and materials science.
