Happy to share Jason Khoury ‘s final paper from our group. We show how SOC can make a crystal more electronically 1 D. With Raquel Queiroz ! Check it out : onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Just out in Nature - our paper on the first Bose-Einstein condensate of dipolar molecules, a gas of molecules cooled into the quantum regime ⚛️-⚛️❄️. A big thank you to the entire NaCs team – past and present members – for the amazing work! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Today in Physical Review Letters our work on the role of geometry in increasing many fold the critical temperature of exciton superfluids 🌊journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1… Columbia Physics Department Flatiron CCQ

Finding an observable that directly tells us the total quantum metric turns out to be quite challenging. We did a trick and found it shows up when we abruptly turn off an electric field and let the system relax Check it out: arxiv.org/abs/2406.17845 Columbia Physics Department

Tonight! 5:30pm at ACP: Dr. Raquel Queiroz will describe how electrons behave as if they live in a curved space, where most physical properties are dictated by the geometry itself... in "The Geometry of Matter". #aspen #physics #condensedmatter #electrons #topological

It was all hands on deck for quantum materials at Columbia! Members of the DOE Office of Science Pro-QM EFRC gathered in New York to share their latest research—check out a quick recap of the event: quantum.columbia.edu/news/columbia-…

What Makes a Diamond Pretty? Columbia Quantum Initiative @epneff wrote nice things about our paper!! quantum.columbia.edu/news/what-make… check it out here: nature.com/articles/s4146…

The Moiré, the Merrier! An eye-catching blackboard in the David Gross Commons created by participants of the "Tunable Two-Dimensional Materials: Moiré and Beyond" program.

Nish gave a fantastic talk Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics on our work on instantaneous response and quantum geometry! Talk: online.kitp.ucsb.edu/online/moire24… Paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2403.07052

Our search for a junior faculty position in AMO Experiment at Columbia is out! Pls apply! Pls spread the word! We are looking forward to exciting applications Link: apply.interfolio.com/156216

Using theoretical analysis and numerical simulations, scientists study moiré flat band robustness in the chiral limit of the Bistrizer-MacDonald model and show that certain magic angles have topological protection inherent to the electrons’ Dirac nature. go.aps.org/3YR3HfQ
