DESCRIPTION:Twist-angle engineering of 2D materials has led to the recent 
 discoveries of novel many-body ground states in moiré systems such as cor
 related insulators\, unconventional superconductivity\, strange metals\, o
 rbital magnetism and topologically nontrivial phases. These systems are cl
 ean and tuneable\, where all phases can coexist in a single device\, which
  opens up enormous possibilities to address key questions about the nature
  of correlation induced superconductivity and topology\, and allows to cre
 ate entirely novel quantum phases with enhanced interactions. In this talk
  we will introduce some of the main concepts underlying these systems\, co
 ncentrating on magic angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG) and show how w
 e can engineer strongly interacting\, topological and superconducting stat
 es. We will further discuss our recent effort to explore the vast library 
 of novel bilayer moiré materials (TMDs etc.) using a novel high-throughpu
 t quantum twisted microscope (QTM) technique\, which will allow us to sear
 ch for novel exotic ground states with ever higher interactions energy and
  temperatures. Last but not least we will show some recent quantum technol
 ogy developments that were enabled by the ultra-low carrier density superc
 onducting states in MATBG\, culminating in the demonstration of highly tun
 eable single photon detectors.
