Atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are 2D semiconductors with tightly
bound excitons and correspondingly strong light–matter interactions. Owing to the weak van …

Abstract 2D semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides comprise an emerging class of
materials with distinct properties, including large exciton binding energies that reach …

Excitonic insulators (EIs) arise from the formation of bound electron–hole pairs (excitons), in
semiconductors and provide a solid-state platform for quantum many-boson physics …

A Bose–Einstein condensate is the ground state of a dilute gas of bosons, such as atoms
cooled to temperatures close to absolute zero. With much smaller mass, excitons (bound …

We present an overview of the main techniques for production and processing of graphene
and related materials (GRMs), as well as the key characterization procedures. We adopt …

Two-dimensional moiré materials provide a highly controllable solid-state platform for
studies of quantum phenomena,–. To date, experimental studies have focused on correlated …

We present an overview of the variational and diffusion quantum Monte Carlo methods as
implemented in the casino program. We particularly focus on developments made in the last …

Recent experiments on kagome metals AV3Sb5 (A= K, Rb, Cs) identify twofold van Hove
singularities (TvHS) with opposite concavity near the Fermi energy, generating two …

Strongly correlated bosons in a lattice are a platform that can realize rich bosonic states of
matter and quantum phase transitions. While strongly correlated bosons in a lattice have …

Excitonic insulators (EIs), arising in semiconductors when the electron-hole binding energy
exceeds the band gap, are a solid-state prototype for bosonic phases of matter. Unlike the …
