Quantum Phases in Flat-Band van-der-Waals Systems: Making, Controlling and Measuring by Quantum Transport

Explore a 45-minute conference talk on quantum phases in flat-band van-der-Waals systems, presented by Thomas Weitz from the University of Goettingen. Delve into the making, controlling, and measuring of these systems through quantum transport. Recorded as part of the "Moiré materials: A New Paradigm in Tunable Quantum Matter" conference at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, this presentation offers insights into the cutting-edge research on moiré materials. Gain understanding of the unprecedented tunability of band structure, symmetry, and topology in these systems, and their potential as a platform for investigating various phenomena. Learn about pressing theoretical questions in moiré materials, including the origin of superconductivity, the nature of correlated states, and the role of topology. Discover experimental challenges, novel techniques, and emerging tunable platforms such as twisted superconductors, topological surface states, quasi-periodic moiré systems, and twisted magnetic materials.
