Generalized string-net models: A thorough exposition
Chien-Hung Lin, Michael Levin, Fiona J. Burnell
We describe how to construct generalized string-net models, a class of exactly solvable lattice models that realize a large family of 2D topologically ordered phases of matter. The…
Further insights into the thermodynamics of the Kitaev honeycomb model
Kexin Feng, Natalia B. Perkins, F. J. Burnell
Here we revisit the thermodynamics of the Kitaev quantum spin liquid realized on the honeycomb lattice. We address two main questions: First, we investigate whether there are obser…
From tunnels to towers: quantum scars from Lie Algebras and q-deformed Lie Algebras
Nicholas O'Dea, Fiona Burnell, Anushya Chandran +1
We present a general symmetry-based framework for obtaining many-body Hamiltonians with scarred eigenstates that do not obey the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis. Our models ar…
Unexpected two-fold symmetric superconductivity in few-layer NbSe
Alex Hamill, Brett Heischmidt, Egon Sohn +13
Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have been attracting significant interest due to a range of properties, such as layer-dependent inversion symmetry, valley-c…
