Compass models: Theory and physical motivations

Z Nussinov, J Van Den Brink - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2015 - APS
Compass models are theories of matter in which the couplings between the internal spin (or
other relevant field) components are inherently spatially (typically, direction) dependent. A …

Nature of the Spin-Liquid Ground State of the Heisenberg Model on the Kagome Lattice

S Depenbrock, IP McCulloch, U Schollwöck - Physical review letters, 2012 - APS
We perform a density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) study of the S= 1 2 Heisenberg
antiferromagnet on the kagome lattice to identify the conjectured spin liquid ground state …

materials Na 2 IrO 3, α-RuCl 3, and α-Li 2 IrO 3 using nonperturbative exact diagonalization …

Sufficient condition for absence of the sign problem in the fermionic quantum Monte Carlo algorithm

C Wu, SC Zhang - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials …, 2005 - APS
Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations involving fermions have a notorious sign problem.
Some well-known exceptions to the auxiliary field QMC algorithm rely on the factorizibility of …

kagome Heisenberg antiferromagnet revisited

AM Läuchli, J Sudan, R Moessner - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We examine the perennial quantum spin liquid candidate S= 1 2 Heisenberg
antiferromagnet on the kagome lattice. Our paper is based on achieving Lanczos …

Imaging quantum interference in a monolayer Kitaev quantum spin liquid candidate

Y Kohsaka, S Akutagawa, S Omachi, Y Iwamichi, T Ono… - Physical Review X, 2024 - APS
Single atomic defects are prominent windows to look into host quantum states because
collective responses from the host states emerge as localized states around the defects …

Majorana positivity and the fermion sign problem of quantum Monte Carlo simulations

ZC Wei, C Wu, Y Li, S Zhang, T **ang - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
The sign problem is a major obstacle in quantum Monte Carlo simulations for many-body
fermion systems. We examine this problem with a new perspective based on the Majorana …

Effective theory of magnetization plateaux in the Shastry-Sutherland lattice

A Abendschein, S Capponi - Physical review letters, 2008 - APS
We use the nonperturbative Contractor-Renormalization method (CORE) in order to derive
an effective model for triplet excitations on the Shastry-Sutherland lattice. For strong enough …
