Impurity quadrupole moments as local probes of flux sectors in the Kitaev spin liquid
Masahiro O. Takahashi, Wen-Han Kao, Satoshi Fujimoto +1
Emergent fluxes play a central role in the low-energy properties of quantum spin liquids (QSLs), where they encode the underlying gauge structure and fractionalization of spins. He…

Signatures of Non-Abelian Kitaev quantum spin liquids in noise magnetormetry
Xiao Xiao, Masahiro O. Takahashi, Paul Stevenson +2
Identification of isolated Majorana zero modes (MZMs) is a key step towards the realization of fault-tolerant topological quantum computation. Here we show how the -based nois…

flux binding to higher-spin impurities in the Kitaev spin liquid
Masahiro O. Takahashi, Wen-Han Kao, Satoshi Fujimoto +1
Stabilizing fluxes in Kitaev spin liquids (KSLs) is crucial for both characterizing candidate materials and identifying Ising anyons. In this study, we investigate the effect…
