Superconductivity, superfluidity and quantum geometry in twisted multilayer systems

P Törmä, S Peotta, BA Bernevig - Nature Reviews Physics, 2022 - nature.com
Superconductivity has been observed in moiré systems such as twisted bilayer graphene,
which host flat, dispersionless electronic bands. In parallel, theory work has discovered that …

Topological photonics

T Ozawa, HM Price, A Amo, N Goldman, M Hafezi… - Reviews of Modern …, 2019 - APS
Topological photonics is a rapidly emerging field of research in which geometrical and
topological ideas are exploited to design and control the behavior of light. Drawing …

Essay: Where can quantum geometry lead us?

P Törmä - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
Quantum geometry defines the phase and amplitude distances between quantum states.
The phase distance is characterized by the Berry curvature and thus relates to topological …

Parent Berry curvature and the ideal anomalous Hall crystal

T Tan, T Devakul - Physical Review X, 2024 - APS
We study a model of electrons moving in a parent band of uniform Berry curvature. At
sufficiently high parent Berry curvature, we show that strong repulsive interactions …

Revisiting flat band superconductivity: Dependence on minimal quantum metric and band touchings

KE Huhtinen, J Herzog-Arbeitman, A Chew… - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
A central result in superconductivity is that flat bands, though dispersionless, can still host a
nonzero superfluid weight due to quantum geometry. We show that the derivation of the …

: Phonon bands, localized flat-band magnetism, models, and chemical analysis

Y Jiang, SB Lee, J Herzog-Arbeitman, J Yu, X Feng… - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
In a series of recent reports, doped lead apatite (LK-99) has been proposed as a candidate
ambient temperature and pressure superconductor. However, from both an experimental …

Geometric origin of superfluidity in the Lieb-lattice flat band

A Julku, S Peotta, TI Vanhala, DH Kim, P Törmä - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
The ground state and transport properties of the Lieb lattice flat band in the presence of an
attractive Hubbard interaction are considered. It is shown that the superfluid weight can be …

Fractional quantum Hall physics in topological flat bands

SA Parameswaran, R Roy, SL Sondhi - Comptes Rendus Physique, 2013 - Elsevier
We present a pedagogical review of the physics of fractional Chern insulators with a
particular focus on the connection to the fractional quantum Hall effect. While the latter …

topological band theory following the discovery of graphene and topological insulators …

Quantum metric and correlated states in two-dimensional systems

E Rossi - Current Opinion in Solid State and Materials Science, 2021 - Elsevier
The recent realization of twisted, two-dimensional, bilayers exhibiting strongly correlated
states has created a platform in which the relation between the properties of the electronic …
