Lecture 1

The phenomenology and the fundamentals of twisted bilayer graphene

Lecture 2

Accounting for the universal features of TBG and various theoretical approaches

Lecture 3

Other twisted bilayer materials, many-body physics, and their simulation with cold atoms

The recently discovered new insulating and superconducting phases in twisted
bilayer graphene have generated huge amount of activities in condensed matter
research. In these lectures, I shall discuss the whole host of puzzling and
surprising phenomena in twisted bilayer graphene, the associating fundamental
issues that have significance beyond graphene physics, and a set of rules that
describes these puzzling behaviors. We shall also discuss other important
classes of twisted bilayer systems that are very likely to have many unusual
many-body phenomena. Finally, we shall point out that many key questions in
twisted bilayer systems can be answered through quantum simulation with cold
atoms.
