Recent Advances in 2D Moire Materials

Moiré materials have rapidly become a rich playground for correlated quantum phenomena, with twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) and twisted transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) revealing unconventional superconductivity, correlated insulators, strange metals and quantum anomalous Hall states.
As the field evolves, a new generation of systems and techniques are emerging. These include twists involving nonhexagonal lattices, M-point-aligned geometries, and rhombohedral multilayer graphene with flat, gapless bands, expanding the landscape for exploring strong correlations and topology.

Alongside these material advances, experimental breakthroughs in fabrication, control, and quantum probes are accelerating progress. A key breakthrough in this field is the Quantum Twisting Microscope (QTM), which enables in situ control of twist angles with nanometer precision. QTM provides direct access to local electronic properties, making it an essential tool for probing emergent phenomena in moiré systems.

Another key breakthrough on the theoretical side, is the development of the topological heavy Fermion model (THF), which allows to precisely model the low energy ground states of MATBG, and perform numerical calculations, including DMFT. This workshop will unite leading theorists and experimentalists to chart the next phase of moiré research, foster collaboration, and spark new directions at the forefront of quantum materials.
