Moire Systems as Quantum Simulators of Any Strongly Correlated System

Seminar Research
On  June 7, 2024
Andrei Bernevig (Princeton Universtiy, Donostia International Physics Center and IKERBASQUE Foundation for Science) will give a seminar on Tuesday December 17th, at 2 PM in Bergès Amphitheater, GreEn-Er Building.

Abstract: We will review the beginning of experimental and theoretical studies of moire systems and their evolution up to present. We will show how thousands of p orbitals in a moire unit cell of graphene can create single Heavy fermion at moire scale, and how the interaction between such fermions can lead to a perfect quantum simulator of an Anderson model. We will then present a catalogue of possible twistable materials and show how a huge variety of strongly interacting models can be realized in twisted homo and hetero twiste bilayers and multilayers of these materials.
