Motivated by recent observation of nematicity in Moir\'{e} systems, we study three different orbital orders that potentially can happen in Moir\'{e} systems: (1) the nematic order; (2) the valley polarization; and (3) the "compass order".…

In condensed matter physics, there is a novel phase termed "quantum spin liquid", in which strong quantum fluctuations prevent the long-range magnetic order from being established, and so the electron spins do not form an ordered pattern…
