Title: Integrability in the chiral model of magic angles
Authors: Simon Becker, Tristan Humbert, Maciej Zworski
Abstract summary: We compute the sums over powers of (complex) magic angles and use that to show that the set of magic angles is infinite. We also provide a new proof of the existence of the first real magic angle, showing also that the corresponding flat band has minimal multiplicity for the simplest possible choice of potentials satisfying all symmetries.

Abstract: Magic angles in the chiral model of twisted bilayer graphene are parameters for which the chiral version of the Bistritzer--MacDonald Hamiltonian exhibits a flat band at energy zero. We compute the sums over powers of (complex) magic angles and use that to show that the set of magic angles is infinite. We also provide a new proof of the existence of the first real magic angle, showing also that the corresponding flat band has minimal multiplicity for the simplest possible choice of potentials satisfying all symmetries. These results indicate (though do not prove) a hidden integrability of the chiral model.

Capturing magic angles in twisted bilayer graphene from information theory markers [0.0]
We show a high sensitivity to the twist angle $theta$ near the magic angles where the effective Fermi velocity vanishes. We use information theory markers, like fidelity-susceptibility and entanglement entropy, to capture this quantum criticality of zero modes at magic twist angles.

Integrability and dark states of the XX spin-1 central spin model in a transverse field [44.99833362998488]
The XX central spin model is integrable in the presence of a magnetic field oriented to the XY plane in which the coupling exists. In the spin-1/2 case, it was also shown, through an appropriate limit of the non-skew symmetric XXZ Richardson-Gaudin models, that it remained integrable even when the magnetic field is tilted to contain an in-plane component.

We study Tarnopolsky-Kruchkov-Vishwanath chiral model of two sheets of $n$-layer Bernal stacked graphene twisted by a small angle. We show that magic angles of this model are exactly the same as magic angles of chiral twisted bilayer graphene with multiplicity.

A Generic Topological Criterion for Flat Bands in Two Dimensions [0.0]
We show that the continuum limit of moir'e graphene is described by a $(2+1)$-dimensional field theory of Dirac fermions coupled to two classical vector fields. We present the Abelianization of the theory where the Abelianized flat band can be mapped to that of the lowest Landau level.

This paper introduces a new method to compute the R'enyi entanglement entropy in auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo simulations.

Fine structure of flat bands in a chiral model of magic angles [0.0]
We show that vanishing of the first Bloch eigenvalue away from the Dirac points implies its vanishing at all momenta, that is the existence of a flat band. We also show how the multiplicity of the flat band is related to the nodal set of the Bloch eigenfunctions.
