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 …

BACKGROUND Years ago, Lev Landau taught us how to think about distinct phases of
matter through an order parameter that characterizes the symmetry-broken state relative to …

The Heisenberg triangular-lattice quantum spin liquid and its phase transitions to nearby
magnetic orders have received much theoretical attention, but clear experimental …

A Majorana fermion is a fermionic particle that is its own antiparticle. Since the theoretical
discovery by Ettore Majorana in 1937, the exotic particle has long been searched in particle …

Topological Phases of Matter are an exceptionally dynamic field of research: several of the
most exciting recent experimental discoveries and conceptual advances in modern physics …

Quantum spin liquids are an exciting playground for exotic physical phenomena and
emergent many-body quantum states. The realization and discovery of quantum spin liquid …

Recently, Co-based honeycomb magnets have been proposed as promising candidate
materials to host the Kitaev spin liquid (KSL) state. One of the front-runners is BaCo2 (AsO4) …

We propose a scheme to implement Kitaev's honeycomb model with cold atoms, based on a
periodic (Floquet) drive, in view of realizing and probing non-Abelian chiral spin liquids …

Frustration in magnetic materials arising from competing exchange interactions can prevent
the system from adopting long-range magnetic order and can instead lead to a diverse …

Spin liquids are exotic phases of quantum matter that challenge Landau's paradigm of
symmetry-breaking phase transitions. Despite strong exchange interactions, spins do not …
