We give a self contained review of a recently developed strong coupling theory of magic-angle graphene. An advantage of this approach is that a single formulation can capture both the insulating and superconducting states, and with a few simplifying assumptions, can be treated analytically. We begin by reviewing the electronic structure of magic angle graphenes flat bands, in a limit that exposes their peculiar band topology and geometry. We highlight how similarities between the flat bands and the lowest Landau level give insight into the effect of interactions. For example, at certain fractional fillings, we note the promise for realizing fractional Chern states. At integer fillings, this approach points to flavor ordered insulators, which can be captured by a sigma-model in its ordered phase. Unexpectedly, topological textures of the sigma model carry electric charge which allows us to extend the same theory to describe the doped phases away from integer filling. We show how this approach can lead to superconductivity on disordering the sigma model, and estimate the T$_c$ for the superconductor. We highlight the important role played by an effective super-exchange coupling both in pairing and in setting the effective mass of Cooper pairs. Seeking to enhance this coupling helps predict new superconducting platforms, including the recently discovered alternating twist trilayer platform. We also contrast our proposal from strong coupling theories for other superconductors.
We present a systematic study of the low-energy collective modes for different insulating states at integer fillings in twisted bilayer graphene. In particular, we provide a simple counting rule for the total number of soft modes, and analyze their e
We show that the insulating states of magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene support a series of collective modes corresponding to local particle-hole excitations on triangular lattice sites. Our theory is based on a continuum model of the magic angle
Spontaneous symmetry breaking plays a pivotal role in many areas of physics, engendering a variety of excitations from sound modes in solids to pions in nuclear physics. Equally important excitations are solitons, nonlinear configurations of the symm
Superconductivity often occurs close to broken-symmetry parent states and is especially common in doped magnetic insulators. When twisted close to a magic relative orientation angle near 1 degree, bilayer graphene has flat moire superlattice miniband
The electronic properties of twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) can be dramatically different from those of a single graphene layer, in particular when the two layers are rotated relative to each other by a small angle. TBG has recently attracted a great
