Quantum Geometry and Fractional Chern Insulators in Moiré Materials
Offered By: PCS Institute for Basic Science via YouTube
Course Description
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.
