Flux-driven quantum spin liquids in kagome optical lattices
arXiv:1902.11301 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.100.053614
Abstract
Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) define an exotic class of quantum ground states where spins are disordered down to zero temperature. We propose routes to QSLs in kagome optical lattices using applied flux. An optical flux lattice can be applied to induce a uniform flux and chiral three-spin interactions that drive the formation of a gapped chiral spin liquid. A different approach based on recent experiments using laser-assisted tunneling and lattice tilt implements a staggered flux pattern which can drive a gapless spin liquid with symmetry protected nodal lines. Our proposals, therefore, establish kagome optical lattices with effective flux as a powerful platform for exploration of QSLs.
