DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Jennifer Cano (CCQ)\n\nFlatiron Institute community 
 members are cordially invited to a Flatiron Institute Seminar Series lectu
 re with Jennifer Cano\, Associate Professor\, Department of Physics and As
 tronomy\, Stony Brook University\, and Visiting Scholar at CCQ.  Please n
 ote that Jennifer's lecture will be followed by a reception on the 162 roo
 f from 5:00-6:00 PM (rain location: IDA promenade).  Jennifer's title and
  abstract are included below.Title: The quest for anyons in moiré materia
 ls Abstract: Quasiparticles are localized excitations in solid state syst
 ems that cannot exist in free space. One fascinating example is anyons\, w
 hich are defined by their fractional statistics\, i.e.\, intermediate betw
 een bosons and fermions\, and which can only exist in two spatial dimensio
 ns. Finding anyons in lattice systems has been an open challenge of the pa
 st decade. However\, the recent realization of moiré materials provides o
 ptimism in this search. I will introduce the beauty\, complexity\, and com
 putational challenges of studying moiré materials\, and then explain why 
 recent experiments in the past six months indicate a new home for anyons.\
