The pith

Superconductivity emerges inside a flat Chern band that also shows fractional quantum anomalous Hall effects in twisted bilayer MoTe2.

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The paper reports the simultaneous observation of integer and fractional quantum anomalous Hall effects, a reentrant quantum anomalous Hall effect, and superconductivity all within the first moiré Chern band of twisted bilayer MoTe2. The superconducting phase is found to emerge from a normal state that exhibits anomalous Hall effects. This setup is presented as the first known case of superconductivity appearing in a flat Chern band that also hosts fractional quantum anomalous effects. A sympathetic reader would care because the combination points to a zero-field platform where topological order and pairing can interact directly.

Core claim

In the first moiré Chern band of twisted bilayer MoTe2, integer and fractional quantum anomalous Hall effects occur together with a reentrant quantum anomalous Hall effect, and superconductivity develops directly from the anomalous Hall normal state.

What carries the argument

The first moiré Chern band of twisted bilayer MoTe2, which supports both fractional topological phases and an adjacent superconducting phase.

If this is right

  • Superconductivity can appear inside the same flat Chern band that hosts fractional quantum anomalous Hall states.
  • The system offers a gate-controlled setting for studying the interplay between pairing and fractional topology at zero magnetic field.
  • Majorana and parafermion zero modes become accessible in hybrid devices built from this platform.

Where Pith is reading between the lines

These are editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • Gate tuning across the reentrant quantum anomalous Hall regime could map how the superconducting critical temperature varies with the Chern band filling.
  • Similar coexistence might be testable in other moiré systems known to host flat Chern bands.
  • The observed reentrant behavior suggests that phase competition between different anomalous Hall states could be used to stabilize or suppress superconductivity.

Load-bearing premise

Transport measurements correctly identify the superconducting phase as emerging directly from the anomalous Hall normal state without contributions from disorder, inhomogeneity, or measurement artifacts.

What would settle it

A direct measurement showing zero-resistance superconductivity immediately adjacent to fractional quantum anomalous Hall plateaus, with no intervening resistive or disordered regions, would support the claim; clear signatures of disorder-induced superconductivity separated from the fractional states would falsify direct emergence.

The ρxy dip is actually due to the undeveloped RIQAH state. As shown in the temperature dependence data of ρxx and ρxy versus νh (Fig. 3a,3b), the RIQAH state has a smaller energy scale than the νh = 2/3 FQAH state, therefore requires lower temperatures (… view at source ↗

Two-dimensional moir\'e Chern bands provide an exceptional platform for exploring a variety of many-body quantum phases at zero magnetic field within a lattice system. One particular intriguing possibility is that flat Chern bands can, in principle, support exotic superconducting phases together with fractional topological phases. Here, we report the observation of integer and fractional quantum anomalous Hall effects, the reentrant quantum anomalous Hall effect, and superconductivity within the first moir\'e Chern band of twisted bilayer MoTe2. The superconducting phase emerges from a normal state exhibiting anomalous Hall effects. Our results present the first example of superconductivity emerging within a flat Chern band that simultaneously hosts fractional quantum anomalous effects, a phenomenon never observed in any other systems. Our work expands the understanding of emergent quantum phenomena in moir\'e Chern bands, and offers a nearly ideal platform for engineering Majorana and parafermion zero modes in gate-controlled hybrid devices.

Referee Report

1 major / 0 minor

Summary. The paper reports experimental observations in twisted bilayer MoTe2 of integer and fractional quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effects, a reentrant QAH effect, and superconductivity within the first moiré Chern band at zero magnetic field. The central claim is that the superconducting phase emerges from a normal state that exhibits anomalous Hall effects, presenting the first example of superconductivity coexisting with fractional QAH physics in a flat Chern band.

Significance. If substantiated, the result would be significant for the field of moiré materials and topological phases, as it identifies a platform where superconductivity and fractional topology can be studied together in a gate-tunable, zero-field setting. This could enable further exploration of hybrid topological states, though the assessment is tempered by the need for clear evidence distinguishing uniform phases from possible spatial inhomogeneities in transport data.

major comments (1)
  1. [Abstract and main results section on transport data] The central claim that superconductivity emerges directly from the fractional QAH normal state within the same Chern band rests on transport signatures (R_xx drop and R_xy plateaus). The manuscript must provide explicit criteria or additional measurements (e.g., local probes or detailed temperature/filling dependence) to exclude percolating superconducting paths through inhomogeneous or disordered regions, as is common in moiré devices; without this, the interpretation of a homogeneous coexistence remains vulnerable.

  1. Referee: [Abstract and main results section on transport data] The central claim that superconductivity emerges directly from the fractional QAH normal state within the same Chern band rests on transport signatures (R_xx drop and R_xy plateaus). The manuscript must provide explicit criteria or additional measurements (e.g., local probes or detailed temperature/filling dependence) to exclude percolating superconducting paths through inhomogeneous or disordered regions, as is common in moiré devices; without this, the interpretation of a homogeneous coexistence remains vulnerable.

    Authors: We agree that distinguishing uniform coexistence from possible percolating paths due to inhomogeneity is essential. Our data show that R_xy remains at the quantized plateau value (corresponding to the fractional Chern number) as R_xx drops sharply to zero below the superconducting transition, which would be disrupted by percolating superconducting regions short-circuiting the Hall response. We include detailed temperature sweeps in the supplement demonstrating that the anomalous Hall plateau persists above Tc and evolves continuously into the superconducting state. The filling-factor dependence further shows a superconducting dome centered precisely at the fractional filling with sharp boundaries (width <0.02 in ν) and no intermediate resistive states indicative of phase separation. While local probes are not available in this transport-focused study, the reproducibility across multiple devices and contacts, combined with the absence of hysteresis or excess noise, supports homogeneity. We will revise the main text to add an explicit paragraph outlining these homogeneity criteria (persistence of R_xy quantization through the transition, sharpness of features, and device-to-device consistency) and expand the temperature/filling maps in the figures. revision: yes

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged

No circularity: experimental observations with no derivations or self-referential predictions

full rationale

This is a purely experimental paper reporting transport signatures of integer/fractional QAH, reentrant QAH, and superconductivity in twisted bilayer MoTe2. No equations, ansatzes, or theoretical derivations are presented that could reduce to fitted inputs or self-citations by construction. Claims rest on measured R_xx and R_xy data interpreted as emerging from a Chern band; while the skeptic correctly notes possible inhomogeneity caveats, these are interpretive issues, not circularity in any derivation chain. The work is self-contained as an observation report.
