Cold atoms in twisted-bilayer optical potentials

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: Twisted-bilayer van der Waals materials are currently at the forefront of condensed matter research. This work proposes a method to simulate twisted bilayers using cold atoms in state-dependent optical lattices. The proposed setup could open up possibilities to observe similar physics in condensed matter systems and explore parameter regimes beyond solid state realizations.
