Fractional Wannier Orbitals and Tight-Binding Gauge Fields in Kitaev Model

Explore fractional Wannier orbitals and tight-binding gauge fields in the Kitaev model through this 14-minute conference talk by Yogendra K B from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delivered as part of the "Engineered 2D Quantum Materials" program, the presentation delves into recent developments in emergent electronic, magnetic, and topological phenomena in two-dimensional synthetic structures of quantum materials. Gain insights into the interplay between electronic correlations, spin-orbit coupling, crystal structure, symmetry, and topology in reduced dimensionality systems. Learn about frustrated coupling across 2D interfaces and enhanced interlayer interactions that lead to new electronic band structures and emergent behaviors not found in bulk systems.
