Exact quantum spin liquids with topological order on maple-leaf and trellis lattices

Li Ern Chern, Roderich Moessner, Claudio Castelnovo

We construct spin models with bond-dependent anisotropic interactions on the penta-coordinated maple-leaf and trellis lattices, which yield exact quantum spin liquid…

Hydrodynamic Memory and Long-Time Tails in Clean Frustrated Magnets

Yufei Pei, Claudio Castelnovo, Roderich Moessner

In a simple, clean but constrained magnet, we identify a self-interacting random walk with memory. For the motion of a single monopole -- a fractionalized quasiparticle in spin ice…

Mapping vortices to anyons in toric code phases of generalized Kitaev models

Li Ern Chern, Roderich Moessner, Claudio Castelnovo

We present a comprehensive theory of mapping flux excitations, or vortices, to electric and magnetic particles in the toric code phases of generalizations of the Kitaev honeycomb m…

Kinetic kagome magnetism: from self-trapping RVB polarons to semiclassical correlations

Yufei Pei, Shuai A. Chen, Claudio Castelnovo +1

To gain deeper insight into the role of hole kinetics in determining magnetism in highly frustrated doped Mott insulators, we consider the single-hole counter-Nagaoka problem on th…

Unstable periodic orbits galore and quantum hyperscarring in highly frustrated magnets

Andrea Pizzi, Claudio Castelnovo, Johannes Knolle

Highly frustrated magnets, with their macroscopically-degenerate classical ground states and massively-entangled quantum spin liquid phases, have been pivotal to the development of…
