We point out the possibility of nearly flat band with Chern number C=2 on the dice lattice in a simple nearest-neighbor tightbinding model. This lattice can be naturally formed by three adjacent $(111)$ layers of cubic lattice, which may be…
We propose a simple scheme for the realization of a topological quasienergy band structure with ultracold atoms in a periodically driven optical square lattice. It is based on a circular lattice shaking in the presence of a superlattice…
An exciting new prospect in condensed matter physics is the possibility of realizing fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states in simple lattice models without a large external magnetic field. A fundamental question is whether qualitatively new…
Phonons as bosons are different from electrons as fermions. Unlike interatomic electron hopping that can be either positive or negative and further tuned by spin-orbit coupling, interatomic spring constant is positive, or the structure of…
Multilayer graphene systems with a rhombohedral stacking order harbor nearly flat bands in their single-particle spectrum. We propose ansatz states to describe the surface-localized states of flat band electrons. The absence of kinetic…
The Kondo effect between localized $f$-electrons and conductive carriers leads to exotic physical phenomena. Among them, heavy-fermion (HF) systems, in which massive effective carriers appear due to the Kondo effect, have fascinated many…
Flat bands are intriguing platforms for correlated and topological physics. Various methods have been developed to create flat bands utilizing lattice geometry, but the investigation of orbital symmetry in multiorbital materials is a new…
We study the interplay between quantum Hall ordering and spontaneous sublattice symmetry breaking in multiple Chern number bands at fractional fillings. Primarily we study fermions with repulsive interactions near half filling in a family…
Topological phases like topological insulators or superconductors are fascinating quantum states of matter, featuring novel properties such as emergent chiral edge states or Majorana fermions with non-Abelian braiding statistics. The recent…
Infinite projected entangled-pair states (iPEPS) provide a powerful variational framework for two-dimensional quantum matter and have been widely used to capture bosonic topological order, including chiral spin liquids. Here we extend this…
Moir\'e-pattern based potential engineering has become an important way to explore exotic physics in a variety of two-dimensional condensed matter systems. While these potentials have induced correlated phenomena in almost all commonly…
Motivated by the recent experiment realizing bidirectional spin-orbit-coupled Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC), we theoretically explore the properties of repulsive fermions in the two-dimensional (2D) optical lattice with such non-Abelian…
A set of recent results indicates that fractionally filled bands of Chern insulators in two dimensions support fractional quantum Hall states analogous to those found in fractionally filled Landau levels. We provide an understanding of…
We review various features of interacting Abelian topological phases of matter in two spatial dimensions, placing particular emphasis on fractional Chern insulators (FCIs) and fractional topological insulators (FTIs). We highlight aspects…
Recent experiments on rhombohedral pentalayer graphene flakes with a substrate induced moir\'e potential have identified both Chern insulators and fractional Quantum Hall states in the absence of an applied magnetic field. Surprisingly,…
Moir\'e systems have emerged in recent years as a rich platform to study strong correlations. Here, we will discuss a simple, experimentally feasible setup based on periodically strained graphene that reproduces several key aspects of…
Motivated by the higher Chern bands of twisted graphene multilayers, we consider flat bands with arbitrary Chern number $C$ with ideal quantum geometry. While $C>1$ bands differ from Landau levels, we show that these bands host exact…
We study the formation and properties of perfectly-flat zero energy bands in a multi-layer graphene systems in the chiral limit. Employing the degrees of freedoms of the multi-layer system, such as relative twist-angle and relative shifts,…
Electrons with large kinetic energy have a superconducting instability for infinitesimal attractive interactions. Quenching the kinetic energy and creating a flat band renders an infinitesimal repulsive interaction the relevant…
A flat energy dispersion of electrons at the Fermi level of a material leads to instabilities in the electronic system and can drive phase transitions. Here we introduce a method to induce a flat band in two-dimensional (2D) materials. We…
