abstract = {Moiré materials represent strongly interacting electron
systems bridging topological and correlated physics. Despite
notable advances, decoding wavefunction properties
underlying the quantum geometry remains challenging. Here we
utilize polarization-resolved photocurrent measurements to
probe magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene, leveraging its
sensitivity to the Berry connection that encompasses quantum
‘textures’ of electron wavefunctions. Using terahertz
light resonant with optical transitions of its flat bands,
we observe bulk photocurrents driven by broken symmetries
and reveal the interplay between electron interactions and
quantum geometry. We observe inversion-breaking gapped
states undetectable through quantum transport, sharp changes
in the polarization axes caused by interaction-induced band
renormalization and recurring photocurrent patterns at
integer filling factors of the moiré unit cell that track
the evolution of quantum geometry through the cascade of
phase transitions. The large and tunable terahertz response
intrinsic to flat-band systems offers direct insights into
the quantum geometry of interacting electrons and paves the
way for innovative terahertz quantum technologies.},
