WORKSHOP MAY 18-19: Frontiers in Synthetic Moiré Quantum Matter

 

What are the most compelling scientific questions in synthetic moiré quantum matter beyond materials like graphene, and what are promising future research directions?

 

The National Academies' Condensed Matter and Materials Research Committee invites you to attend a virtual workshop on synthetic moiré quantum matter on May 18-19, 2021. This emerging field of physics has yielded an unprecedented wealth of new correlated electronic materials, which can be designed to mimic complex quantum systems in other fields.

 

During the workshop, invited speakers will discuss layered materials with novel correlation effects and emergent phenomena in macroscopic quantum interacting systems. The workshop will also address how to increase the library of two-dimensional materials beyond the classic set of van der Waals twist-and-stack materials, such as bilayer graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides. This workshop will explore what more might be achievable for the field and ways other fields can build upon these discoveries.

 

Who should attend?: This workshop will be targeted towards researchers, funding agencies, and interested stakeholders from condensed matter, material science, physics, chemistry, and other related fields, with the intention of supporting interdisciplinary discussion about how this work can benefit other fields.

 

FEATURED SPEAKERS AND MODERATORS:

  • Pablo Jarillo-Herrero, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
  • Ashvin Vishwanath, Harvard University
  • Jennifer Cano, Stony Brook University
  • Joe Checkelsky, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
  • Ramamoorthy Ramesh, University of California at Berkeley
  • Hemamala Karunadasa, Stanford University
  • Marcel Franz, University of British Columbia
  • Stuart Parkin, Max Planck Institute
