Michael Zaletel – University of California Berkley Title: Anomalous Hall Crystals in Graphene: interaction-driven Chern bands at zero magnetic field Abstract: Recent experiments have discovered that pentalayer-graphene subject to a moire superlattice spontaneously breaks time-reversal, resulting in a quantized anomalous Hall effect at zero magnetic field. At fractional filling, the material exhibits a zero-field fractional quantum […]

We are happy to organize Friends and Family Day at the Blusson Quantum Matter Institute. This is a celebration of the QMI Community and World Quantum Day. Please register here. Lab Tours The following labs will be open to the public. Volunteers will give brief explanations of each lab: • The Scanning Tunneling Microscopy Lab […]

Domenico Giuliano – Department of Physics, Università della Calabria, Italy Title: Dissipation driven dynamical topological phase transitions in two-dimensional superconductors Abstract: By quenching the interaction strength, we induce and study a topological dynamical phase transition between superconducting phases of a planar fermionic model. Using the Lindblad Master Equation approach to account for the interactions of Bogoliubov […]
