Topological states of matter are characterized by topological invariant, which are physical quantities whose values are quantized and do not depend on details of the measured system. Of these, the easiest to probe in experiments is the…
The fractional quantum anomalous Hall (FQAH) effect was recently discovered in twisted MoTe2 bilayers (tMoTe2). Experiments to date have revealed Chern insulators from hole doping at v = -1, -2/3, -3/5, and -4/7 (per moir\'e unit cell). In…
