The Kondo lattice—a matrix of local magnetic moments coupled through spin-exchange interactions to itinerant conduction electrons—is a prototype of strongly correlated quantum …
We show that pressure applied to twisted WSe 2 can enhance the many-body gap and region of stability of a fractional Chern insulator at filling ν= 1/3. Our results are based on …

Quantum materials, with nontrivial quantum phenomena and mechanisms, promise efficient quantum technologies with enhanced functionalities. Quantum technology is held back …
Semiconductor moiré superlattices have been shown to host a wide array of interaction- driven ground states. However, twisted homobilayers have been difficult to study in the limit …
Recent experiments observed fractional Chern insulators (FCI) in twisted bilayer MoTe 2 at zero magnetic field, yet even the single-particle model of this material is controversial …
