متن کاملKitaev honeycomb and other exotic spin models with polar molecules
We show that ultracold polar molecules pinned in an optical lattice can be used to access a variety of exotic spin models, including the Kitaev honeycomb model. Treating each molecule as a rigid rotor, we use DC electric and microwave fields to define superpositions of rotational levels as effective spin degrees of freedom, while dipole-dipole interactions give rise to interactions between the ...
متن کاملMagnetization plateaus in frustrated antiferromagnetic quantum spin models
Plateaus can be observed in the zero-temperature magnetization curve of quantum spin systems at rational values of the magnetization. In one dimension, the appearance of a plateau is controlled by a quantization condition for the magnetization which involves the length of the local spin and the volume of a translational unit cell of the ground state. We discuss examples of geometrically frustra...
متن کاملVaporization of Kitaev spin liquids.
The quantum spin liquid is an exotic quantum state of matter in magnets. This state is a spin analog of liquid helium that does not solidify down to the lowest temperature due to strong quantum fluctuations. In conventional fluids, the liquid and gas possess the same symmetry and adiabatically connect to each other by bypassing the critical end point. We find that the situation is qualitatively...
متن کاملGround state entanglement and geometric entropy in the Kitaev model
We study the entanglement properties of the ground state in Kitaev’s model. This is a two-dimensional spin system with a torus topology and non-trivial four-body interactions between its spins. For a generic partition (A,B) of the lattice we calculate analytically the von Neumann entropy of the reduced density matrix ρA in the ground state. We prove that the geometric entropy associated with a ...
