Correlated insulators are frequently observed in magic angle twisted bilayer graphene at even fillings of electrons or holes per moir\'e unit-cell. Whereas theory predicts these insulators to be intervalley coherent excitonic phases, the…

Band structures of electrons in a periodic potential are well-known to host topologies that impact their behaviors at edges and interfaces. The concept however is more general than the single-electron setting. In this work, we consider…

The tunneling through an opaque barrier with a strong oscillating component is investigated. It is shown, that in the strong perturbations regime (in contrast to the weak one), higher perturbations rate does not necessarily improve the…
