We show how to include the Jahn-Teller coupling of \mo phonons to the electrons in the continuum model formalism which describes small-angle twisted bilayer graphene. These phonons, which strongly couple to the valley degree of freedom, are able to open gaps at most integer fillings of the four flat bands around the charge neutrality point. Moreover, we derive the full quantum mechanical expression of the electron-phonon Hamiltonian, which may allow accessing phenomena such as the phonon…

Using a microscopic model for phonon coupling to moiré band electrons, it is found that phonons generate attractive interactions in both s- and d-wave pairing channels and that the attraction is strong enough to explain the experimental superconducting transition temperatures.

It is shown that phonon-mediated electron attraction at the magic angle is strong enough to induce a conventional intervalley pairing between graphene valleys K and K^{'} with a superconducting critical temperature T_{c}∼1  K, in agreement with the experiment.

It is found that gaps between the flat conduction and valence bands open at neutrality over a wide range of twist angles, sometimes without breaking the system's valley projected C_{2}T symmetry.
