This paper describes the synthesis of a novel intrinsically conductive two-dimensional (2D)
covalent organic framework (COF) through the aromatic annulation of 2, 3, 9, 10, 16, 17, 23 …

Certain lattice wave systems in translationally invariant settings have one or more spectral
bands that are strictly flat or independent of momentum in the tight binding approximation …

Quantum simulators are essential tools for understanding complex quantum materials.
Platforms based on ultracold atoms in optical lattices and photonic devices have led the field …

The destructive interference of wavefunctions in a kagome lattice can give rise to topological
flat bands (TFBs) with a highly degenerate state of electrons. Recently, TFBs have been …

The dimensionality of an electronic quantum system is decisive for its properties. In one
dimension, electrons form a Luttinger liquid, and in two dimensions, they exhibit the …
