Popis: Using exact quantum Monte Carlo method, we examine the recent novel electronic states seen in magic-angle graphene superlattices. From the Hubbard model on a double-layer honeycomb lattice with a rotation angle $\theta=1.08^{\circ}$, we reveal that an antiferromagnetically ordered Mott insulator emerges beyond a critical $U_c$ at half filling, and with a small doping, the pairing with $d+id$ symmetry dominates over other pairings at low temperature. The effective $d+id$ pairing interaction strongly increase as the on-site Coulomb interaction increases, indicating that the superconductivity is driven by electron-electron correlation. Our non-biased numerical results demonstrate that the twisted bilayer graphene share the similar superconducting mechanism of high temperature superconductors, which is a new and idea platform for further investigating the strongly correlated phenomena.
Comment: 6 pages, 7 figures. A very careful revision on finite-size scaling analysis and sign problem are made, and some more references are added
