We are an Emmy Noether Research group at the University of Cologne, led by Urban Seifert. Our work is concerned with the theory of quantum materials, with a particular focus on quantum matter in van der Waals heterostructures and novel phenomena in optically driven systems.

Apr/2025New preprints: altermagnetism in spin liquids and topologically enabled superconductivity
We have recently finished two preprints: altermagnetism can be implemented projectively in fractionalized spin liquids > arXiv:2504.13166, and a topological mechanism for superconductivity with possible connections to recent experiments on rhombohedral graphene > arXiv:2504.13166.
Dec/2024Starting up and new website
We are excited that our Emmy Noether group at the University of Cologne officially started in Nov. 2024! Haoyang Tian has joined the group as a PhD student and Partha Sarker as Master's student.
