Magic behavior of low-dimensional nanostructures
Virtual eventLike in a magic trick, atomically thin layers of specific materials can be mixed and stacked in a well-defined way. Due to the inter-layer interaction and charge transfer, the heterostructure may exhibit sometimes unexpected behavior. This occurs in the case of elemental boron, which is notorious for a large number of stable allotropes not only in 3D bulk, but also in 2D.

Controlling Emergent Behavior in Quantum Matter from a Theory Perspective
Virtual eventSpeaker: Prineha Narang, Harvard University
CM Seminar: Controlling Emergent Behavior in Quantum Matter from a Theory Perspective
Virtual eventSpeaker: Prineha Narang, Assistant Professor at Harvard University My group’s research focuses on how quantum matter behaves, particularly away from equilibrium, and how we can harness emergent effects in these systems. In this context, I will focus on our newly introduced approaches to describe excited-states in quantum matter, including electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions beyond […]
New Student Orientation
Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute Room 311, 2235 East Mall, Vancouver, British Columbia, CanadaNew students are invited to learn about the Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute (Blusson QMI) from our Scientific Director, Andrea Damascelli, and gain practical advice from other members of Blusson QMI and the student committee. Save the date and await more information in the upcoming days. Lunch will be served.
Jason Alicea: Internally engineered Majorana modes in twisted bilayer graphene
Virtual eventAbstract: Twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) realizes an exquisitely tunable, strongly interacting system featuring superconductivity and various correlated insulating states. In this talk I will introduce gate-defined wires in TBG as an enticing platform for Majorana-based fault-tolerant qubits. Our proposal notably relies on “internally” generated superconductivity in TBG – as opposed to “external” superconducting proximity effects […]
