Abstract:

The understanding of strongly-correlated quantum matter has challenged

physicists for decades. The discovery four 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 correlated physics,

namely moiré quantum matter.

These systems exhibit a plethora of quantum phases, such as correlated insulators,

superconductivity, magnetism, Chern insulators, 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.
