Explore the fascinating world of quantum materials in this 20-minute conference talk by Saisab Bhowmik from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the intricacies of magnetism, Fermi surface reconstructions, and Chern insulators in twisted bilayer systems. Learn about the latest developments in engineered 2D quantum materials, focusing on emergent electronic, magnetic, and topological phenomena. Gain insights into the interplay between electronic correlations, spin-orbit coupling, crystal structure, symmetry, and topology in reduced dimensionality systems. Discover how frustrated coupling across 2D interfaces and enhanced interlayer interactions lead to new electronic band structures and emergent behaviors not found in bulk systems. This talk is part of a comprehensive program bringing together physicists and materials scientists to discuss artificially engineered heterostructures, including oxide interfaces, van der Waals materials, and other novel moire or layered materials.
