The recent realization of twisted, two-dimensional, bilayers exhibiting strongly correlated stateshas created a platform in which the relation between the properties of the electronic bands and the nature of the correlated states can be studied in unprecedented ways. The reason is thatthese systems allow an unprecedented control of the electronic bands properties, for exampleby varying the relativetwist angle between the layers forming the system. In particular, in twisted bilayers the low energy bands canbe tuned to be very flat and with a nontrivial quantum metric. This allows the quantitativeand experimental exploration of the relation between the metric of Bloch quantum statesand the properties of correlated states. In this work we first review the general connectionbetween quantum metric and the properties of correlated states that break a continuous symmetry.We then discuss the specific case when the correlated state is a superfluid and show how the quantum metric is related to the superfluid stiffness.To exemplify such relation we show results for the case of superconductivityin magic angle twisted bilayer graphene.We conclude by discussing possible research directions to further elucidatethe connection between quantum metric and correlated states properties.

We classify discrete-rotation symmetric topological crystalline superconductors (TCS) in two dimensions and provide the criteria for a zero energy Majorana bound state (MBS) to be present at composite defects made from magnetic flux, dislocations, and disclinations. In addition to the Chern number that encodes chirality, discrete rotation symmetry further divides TCS into distinct stable topological classes according to the rotation eigenspectrum of Bogoliubov-de Gennes quasi-particles. Conical crystalline defects are shown to be able to accommodate robust MBS when a certain combination of these bulk topological invariants is non-trivial as dictated by the index theorems proved within. The number parity of MBS is counted by a $mathbb{Z}_2$-valued index that solely depends on the disclination and the topological class of the TCS. We also discuss the implications for corner-bound Majorana modes on the boundary of topological crystalline superconductors.
Motivated by recent advances in the fabrication of Josephson junctions in which the weak link is made of a low-dimensional non-superconducting material, we present here a systematic theoretical study of the local density of states (LDOS) in a clean 2D normal metal (N) coupled to two s-wave superconductors (S). To be precise, we employ the quasiclassical theory of superconductivity in the clean limit, based on Eilenbergers equations, to investigate the phase-dependent LDOS as function of factors such as the length or the width of the junction, a finite reflectivity, and a weak magnetic field. We show how the the spectrum of Andeeev bound states that appear inside the gap shape the phase-dependent LDOS in short and long junctions. We discuss the circumstances when a gap appears in the LDOS and when the continuum displays a significant phase-dependence. The presence of a magnetic flux leads to a complex interference behavior, which is also reflected in the supercurrent-phase relation. Our results agree qualitatively with recent experiments on graphene SNS junctions. Finally, we show how the LDOS is connected to the supercurrent that can flow in these superconducting heterostructures and present an analytical relation between these two basic quantities.

Enhancement of the electron spin polarization in a correlated two-layer two-dimensional electron system at a total Landau level filling factor of one is reported. Using resistively detected nuclear magnetic resonance, we demonstrate that the electron spin polarization of two closely-spaced two-dimensional electron systems becomes maximized when inter-layer Coulomb correlations establish spontaneous isospin ferromagnetic order. This correlation-driven polarization dominates over the spin polarizations of competing single-layer fractional Quantum Hall states under electron density imbalances.
Collective modes in two dimensional topological superconductors are studied by an extended random phase approximation theory while considering the influence of vector field of light. In two situations, the s-wave superconductors without spin-orbit-coupling (SOC), and the hybrid semiconductor and s-wave superconductor layers with strong SOC, we get the analytical results for longitudinal modes which are found to be indeed gapless. Further more, the effective modes volumes can be calculated, the electric and magnetic fields can be expressed as the creation and annihilation operators of such modes. So, one can study the interaction of them with other quasi-particles through fields.
