We have been working on twisted monolayer bilayer graphene (tMBG) for a while when suddenly three groups put their experimental results last week on the arXiv (UCSB, Columbia, Manchester). So we had to rush writing up everything we had, and now you can read our postdictions about the quantum...

At the University of Geneva a group of enthusiastic graduate students have instigated a seminar series devoted to 'relevant techniques in many-body physics': the "ToolBoX". I had the honor of providing the first set of lectures on density functional theory, for which I prepared some notes with...

Today our paper appeared on the arXiv describing the evidence for flat bands in twisted bilayer graphene. A really great effort, with experiments in Leiden and Barcelona and with our local Genevan Simone Lisi leading the ARPES effort. I'm very happy to have provided some theoretical work on this.

The month november was quite successful publication-wise, as four of my publications have been accepted.

At our weekly "Flat Club" in Geneva I presented on Friday 11 October the latest experiments from Andrea Young's group, who observed the quantum anomalous Hall effect in twisted bilayer graphene. Download my slides here (PDF).

At the Conference on “Complex Quantum Systems out of Equilibrium” in Murcia, Spain I presented my latest work with Dmitry Abanin on the relation between MBL and spin glasses. This work has been published on the arXiv now as well. The full presentation slides can be downloaded here (PDF).

At the "Mottness, Poor Conductors, and Strange Metals” Workshop at the Tsung-Dao Lee Institute, Shanghai, China I presented my work and some new speculations on twisted bilayer graphene. The full presentation can be downloaded here (PDF).

This work was presented first in a seminar at the University of Toronto on 18 October 2017. The slides of this presentation can be downloaded here (pptx, 13 MB).

I also presented this work in the form of a poster at the SPICE workshop ’Non-equilibrium Quantum Matter’, Mainz, Germany, from 30 May to 2 June 2017. The poster can be downloaded here (pdf, 1.3 MB).
