Development of Macroscopic Single-Crystal 2D Monolayers, Moiré Structures, and Their 1D Counterparts

Explore quantum many-body states of matter in solid-state systems through this 42-minute conference talk from the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. Delve into the fascinating world of macroscopic single-crystal 2D monolayers, moiré structures, and their one-dimensional counterparts as presented by Stanford researcher Fang Liu. Learn about recent advances in controlling quantum states using short strong classical laser pulses, including the enhancement of correlated electron states, superconducting phases, magnetic properties, and topological states of matter. Gain insights into the intersection of quantum optics and solid-state physics, with particular focus on how quantum optical techniques and strong cavity fields can be applied to materials science for preparing, manipulating, and studying correlated electron phases. Part of a broader conference bringing together theoretical and experimental researchers to address promising new directions in the field.
