The Kitaev model is an exactly solvable S= 1/2 spin model on a 2D honeycomb lattice, in
which the spins fractionalize into Majorana fermions and form a topological quantum spin …

We review the recent advances and current challenges in the field of strong spin-orbit
coupled Kitaev materials, with a particular emphasis on the physics beyond the exactly …

Computational models are an essential tool for the design, characterization, and discovery
of novel materials. Computationally hard tasks in materials science stretch the limits of …

Half-integer thermal quantum Hall conductance has recently been reported for the two-
dimensional honeycomb material α-RuCl3. We found that the half-integer thermal Hall …

Spin liquids are collective phases of quantum matter that have eluded discovery in
correlated magnetic materials for over half a century. Theoretical models of these enigmatic …

The discovery of the quantum spin Hall effect and topological insulators more than a decade
ago has revolutionized modern condensed matter physics. Today, the field of topological …

In recent years, the notion of'Quantum Materials' has emerged as a powerful unifying
