Title: Quantum Twisting Microscopy of Moiré Flat Bands: A Theoretical Perspective

Abstract: Moiré materials with tunable flat bands provide an exceptional platform for realizing strongly correlated and topological phases. Achieving a detailed understanding of their electronic structure, however, remains a major challenge. The recently developed quantum twisting microscope introduces a new tunneling probe for van der Waals materials. In this talk, I will present a theoretical framework for both elastic and inelastic tunneling spectroscopy of moiré flat bands using the quantum twisting microscope. I will discuss how this technique can enable momentum-resolved measurements of electronic spectral functions, neutral collective excitations and superconducting gap structures in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene.

The Champions Fund

Become a Champion and transform a Kentucky student's life

The Arts and Sciences Champions initiative is designed to support Kentucky students from start to finish by providing both financial and personal support. These scholars are high-achieving, first generation students with unmet financial need.

At 61, Bernadine McGhee became a first-generation college graduate. Her degree was 40 years in the making.

By Francis Von Mann

LEXINGTON, KY. (Nov. 12, 2025) – Bernadine “Bernie” McGhee never imagined herself with a college degree. But in 2022 at 61, McGhee crossed the stage of Rupp Arena with a bachelor's degree in liberal studies from the College of Arts and Sciences.
