Boltzmann Lecture 2026 - Pablo Jarillo-Herrero (Massachusetts): The Magic of Moiré Quantum Matter

Understanding strongly interacting quantum matter has challenged physicists for decades. The discovery of correlated phases and superconductivity in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene eight years ago has led to the emergence of a new materials platform for investigating strongly interacting and topological physics: moiré quantum matter. These systems exhibit a variety of quantum phases, including correlated insulators, superconductivity, magnetism and ferroelectricity. In this talk, I will review the basics of moiré quantum matter and highlight recent advances in the field. I will end the talk with an outlook on exciting future directions in this emerging field.
