Spin Hamiltonians with resonating-valence-bond ground states
Jennifer Cano, Paul Fendley
Quantum dimer models exhibit quantum critical points and liquid states when the ground state is the resonating-valence bond (RVB) state. We construct SU(2)-invariant spin-1/2 Hamil…

Boundary Conformal Field Theory and Tunneling of Edge Quasiparticles in non-Abelian Topological States
Paul Fendley, Matthew P. A. Fisher, Chetan Nayak
We explain how (perturbed) boundary conformal field theory allows us to understand the tunneling of edge quasiparticles in non-Abelian topological states. The coupling between a bu…
