Visons in Kitaev Spin Liquids with Majorana Fermi Surfaces

Caio V. S. Soares, Rodrigo G. Pereira

The excitation spectrum of Kitaev quantum spin liquids consists of itinerant Majorana fermions, which can be gapless or gapped, and vortices of a gauge field, known…

Partons from stabilizer codes

Rafael A. Macedo, Carlo C. Bellinati, Weslei B. Fontana +2

The Gutzwiller projection of fermionic wave functions is a well-established method for generating variational wave functions describing exotic states of matter, such as quantum spi…

The spin-orbital Kitaev model: from kagome spin ice to classical fractons

Weslei B. Fontana, Fabrizio G. Oliviero, Rodrigo G. Pereira +1

We study an exactly solvable spin-orbital model that can be regarded as a classical analogue of the celebrated Kitaev honeycomb model and describes interactions between Rydberg ato…

Majorana Fermi surface state in a network of quantum spin chains

Fabrizio G. Oliviero, Weslei B. Fontana, Rodrigo G. Pereira

We use junctions of critical spin-1 chains as the basic elements to construct a honeycomb network that harbors a gapless chiral spin liquid phase. The low-energy modes are describe…

Bound states in two-dimensional Fermi systems with quadratic band touching

Flávio L. N. Santos, Mônica A. Caracanhas, M. C. O. Aguiar +1

The formation of bound states between mobile impurity particles and fermionic atoms has been demonstrated in spin-polarized Fermi gases with attractive interspecies interaction. We…

Edge magnetization and spin transport in an SU(2)-symmetric Kitaev spin liquid

V. S. de Carvalho, H. Freire, E. Miranda +1

We investigate the edge magnetism and the spin transport properties of an SU(2)-symmetric Kitaev spin liquid (KSL) model put forward by Yao and Lee [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{107},…
