Ground-state properties for bilayer Kitaev model: dimer expansion study

Abstract

We study ground state properties in the bilayer Kitaev model by means of the dimer expansion. The existence of parity symmetries in the system reduces the computational cost significantly. This allows us to expand the ground state energy and interlayer spin-spin correlation up to 30th order in the interdimer Kitaev coupling. The numerical calculations clarify that the dimer singlet state is indeed realized in the wide parameter region.
