Understanding and controlling quantum phases of matter is one of the central challenges of condensed matter physics. In this talk, I will describe how our group uses this challenge as a unifying thread to connect experiment, theory, and artificial intelligence, with topological van der Waals materials as our primary arena.I ...
Excitations in quantum systems govern their responses to intrinsic and extrinsic perturbations. Emergent excitations from the interplay between topology and correlation can drive new phase instabilities and enable novel device concepts. While a plethora of intriguing ground states are reported in two-dimensional flatband systems, it has been challenging to directly ...

Superconductivity in layered nickelatesUnconventional superconductivity in proximity to various strongly correlated phases has been a recurring theme in materials as diverse as heavy fermion compounds, cuprates, pnictides, and twisted bilayer graphene. Here we will discuss a growing family of layered nickelate superconductors. The initial discovery of superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelates was motivated by ...
