R. G. Herb Condensed Matter Seminar
Constructive approaches to frustrated magnetism: Moiré and Measurements
Date: Thursday, February 9th
Time: 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Place: 5310 Chamberlin Hall
Speaker: Zhu-Xi Luo, Harvard University
Abstract: Frustrated magnetism arises when spins interact through competing exchange interactions which cannot be simultaneously satisfied. When the frustrations are strong enough, exotic states can emerge such as long-range entangled spin liquids. Unfortunately, solid state materials are complicated and frustrations are hard to control: To this date, quantum spin liquids are still challenging to be realized in experiments. Naturally, researchers seek more manageable experimental systems, in the hope of engineering frustrated magnetism constructively. I will discuss my recent works in two types of such manageable systems: moire heterostructures in van der Waals materials where many tuning knobs are available; and monitored quantum circuits where designer gates and measurements are exploited as new sources of frustrations.
