Magic-angle twisted multilayer graphene stands out as a highly tunable class of moir\'e materials that exhibit strong electronic correlations and robust superconductivity. However, understanding the relations between the low-temperature…

A number of moir\'e graphene systems have nearly flat topological bands where electron motion is strongly correlated. Though microscopically these systems are only quasiperiodic, they can typically be treated as translation invariant to an…
