Description
I will give an overview of how advances in engineering twisted two-dimensional materials with a “moiré superlattice” have revealed a rich playground for investigations into strongly-correlated electronic matter. I’ll introduce the theories deployed to explain some of the experimental puzzles that arise and give a personal view on the most promising lines of future work. Along the way, I will illustrate how some of these ideas echo historic themes in condensed matter physics, including Martin Gutzwiller’s visionary ideas on the many-body problem, and mention how they tie in to past and future activities at MPI-PKS.
