The speaker Pablo Jarillo-Herrero is Professor in Physics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). In 2018 he presented a new 2D-platform to investigate strongly correlated physics, based on graphene moiré superlattices.
The understanding of strongly-interacting quantum matter has challenged physicists for decades. The discovery seven years ago of correlated phases and superconductivity in magic angle twisted bilayer graphene has led to the emergence of a new materials platform to investigate strongly interacting physics, namely moiré quantum matter. These systems exhibit a plethora of quantum phases, such as correlated insulators, superconductivity, magnetism, ferroelectricity, and more. In this talk I will review some of the recent advances in the field, focusing on the newest generation of moiré quantum systems, where correlated physics, superconductivity, and other fascinating phases can be studied with unprecedented tunability. I will end the talk with an outlook of some exciting directions in this emerging field.
