The unique physical properties of two-dimensional materials, combined with the ability to stack unlimited combinations of atomic layers with arbitrary crystal angle, has unlocked a new paradigm in designer quantum materials. For example, when two different monolayers are brought into contact to form a heterobilayer, the electronic interaction between the two layers results in a spatially periodic potential-energy landscape: the moir\u00e9 superlattice. The moir\u00e9 superlattice can create flat bands and quench the kinetic energy of electrons, giving rise to strongly correlated electron systems. Further, single particle wave packets can be trapped in the moir\u00e9 potential pockets with three-fold symmetry to form \u2018quantum dots\u2019 which can emit single photons. Here I will introduce and survey the state-of-the-art in the physics of moir\u00e9 superlattices made by stacking two layers of transition metal dichalcogenide semiconductors together with a slight twist, with a focus on strongly correlated electronic systems and quantum dots. Finally, I will provide a perspective on the opportunities that lie ahead in this rich system.<\/p>\n
