报告摘要：

Fractional Chern insulators (FCIs) generalize the fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) from continuum two-dimensional (2D) electron gases to lattice setups. They typically arise when a nearly flat 2D Bloch band with nonzero Chern number is partially occupied by strongly interacting particles. Band topology and interactions endow FCIs intrinsic topological orders. Since in principle FCIs can exist at zero magnetic field and be protected by a large energy gap, they provide a potentially experimentally more accessible avenue for observing and harnessing FQHE phenomena. Moreover, the interplay between FCIs and lattice-specific effects poses new theoretical challenges. In this talk, I will first introduce FCIs, their numerical diagnoses, and the recent realization of these states in moiré materials. Then I will propose twisted double bilayer graphene as a versatile platform for the realization of FCIs. Finally, I will present a summary and list some important open questions.
