In this flat club I will first introduce altermagnets, a new class of magnetic systems where opposite spin sublattices are connected by symmetries that enforce a vanishing net magnetization (like in antiferromagnets) but still allow for a finite spin-splitting of...

Controlling how light propagates and is confined on nanometre scales is a central challenge in both fundamental photonics research and the development of nanoscale optical technologies. Strong progress in this area has come from using crystal anisotropy to guide...

As predicted by E. Wigner in 1934, the long-range Coulomb interaction between electrons can lead to a phase transition, when the density becomes very low, from a (quantum) liquid or gas phase to a crystallized phase of electrons, now called a Wigner crystal. In three...

Hybridizing superconductivity with the quantum Hall effects has major potential for designing novel circuits capable of inducing and manipulating non-Abelian states. In this talk I will present our recent results on quantum Hall Josephson junctions based on graphene...

Liquids are traditionally described within classical physics, whereas solids require the tools of quantum mechanics. I will discuss how in nanoscale systems, this distinction no longer holds. The dynamics of liquids confined to nanometer-scale channels can couple to...
