Quantum Spin Liquid

AbstractRealistic model Hamiltonians for quantum spin liquids frequently exhibit a large separation of energy scales between their elementary excitations. At intermediate, experimentally relevant temperatures, some excitations are sparse and hop coherently, whereas others are thermally incoherent and dense. Here, we study the interplay of two such species of quasiparticle, dubbed spinons and visons, which are subject to nontrivial mutual statistics – one of the hallmarks of quantum spin liquid behaviour. Our results for $${{\mathbb{Z}}}_{2}$$ Z 2 quantum spin liquids show an intriguing feedback mechanism, akin to the Nagaoka effect, whereby spinons become localised on temperature-dependent patches of expelled visons. This phenomenon has important consequences for the thermodynamic and transport properties of the system, as well as for its response to quenches in temperature. We argue that these effects can be measured in experiments and may provide viable avenues for obtaining signatures of quantum spin liquid behaviour.

AbstractThe search for truly quantum phases of matter is a center piece of modern research in condensed matter physics. Quantum spin liquids, which host large amounts of entanglement—an entirely quantum feature where one part of a system cannot be measured without modifying the rest—are exemplars of such phases. Here, we devise a realistic model which relies upon the well-known Haldane chain phase, i.e. the phase of spin-1 chains which host fractional excitations at their ends, akin to the hallmark excitations of quantum spin liquids. We tune our model to exactly soluble points, and find that the ground state realizes Haldane chains whose physical supports fluctuate, realizing both quantum spin liquid like and symmetry-protected topological phases. Crucially, this model is expected to describe actual materials, and we provide a detailed set of material-specific constraints which may be readily used for an experimental realization.
