Absence of Finite Temperature Phase Transitions in the X-Cube Model and its ${\mathbb{Z}}_p$ Generalization

Zack Weinstein, Emilio Cobanera, Gerardo Ortiz +1

We investigate thermal properties of the X-Cube model and its ${\mathbb{Z}}_p$ `clock-type' ($p$X-Cube) extension. In the latter, the elementary spin-1/2 operators of the X-Cube mo…
