Anyon polarons as a window into competing phases of the Kitaev honeycomb model under a Zeeman field

Chuan Chen, Inti Sodemann Villadiego

We compute the spectra of anyon quasiparticles in all three super-selection sectors of the Kitaev model (i.e., visons, fermions and bosons), perturbed by a Zeeman field away from i…
