Lecture

From the quantum Hall effect to moiré materials : topology and geometry of quantum materials

from to

Topological concepts occupy a central place in Quantum Condensed Matter Physics, helping to understand the robustness of certain phases of quantum matter and providing a unifying language to describe them. This cycle of lectures and seminars provides an introduction to these ideas through a journey from the quantum Hall effect to moiré materials. Two-dimensional materials and flat-band systems, at the heart of current research, provide fertile platforms for exploring new topological and strongly correlated phases. Seminars complement the lectures by providing an overview of recent theoretical and experimental developments.
