Gapless state of interacting Majorana fermions in a strain-induced Landau level
Adhip Agarwala, Subhro Bhattacharjee, Johannes Knolle +1
Mechanical strain can generate a pseudo-magnetic field, and hence Landau levels (LL), for low energy excitations of quantum matter in two dimensions. We study the collective state…
Vacancy-induced low-energy density of states in the Kitaev spin liquid
Wen-Han Kao, Johannes Knolle, Gábor B. Halász +2
The Kitaev honeycomb model has attracted significant attention due to its exactly solvable spin-liquid ground state with fractionalized Majorana excitations and its possible materi…
Random multipolar driving: tunably slow heating through spectral engineering
Hongzheng Zhao, Florian Mintert, Roderich Moessner +1
Driven quantum systems may realize novel phenomena absent in static systems, but driving-induced heating can limit the time-scale on which these persist. We study heating in intera…
The range of non-Kitaev terms and fractional particles in RuCl
Yiping Wang, Gavin B. Osterhoudt, Yao Tian +12
Significant efforts have focused on the magnetic excitations of relativistic Mott insulators, predicted to realize the Kitaev quantum spin liquid (QSL). This exactly solvable model…
Disorder-free localization in a simple lattice gauge theory
Irene Papaefstathiou, Adam Smith, Johannes Knolle
Localization due to the presence of disorder has proven crucial for our current understanding of relaxation in isolated quantum systems. The many-body localized phase constitutes a…
Dynamics of a two-dimensional quantum spin-orbital liquid: spectroscopic signatures of fermionic magnons
Willian M. H. Natori, Johannes Knolle
We provide an exact study of dynamical correlations for the quantum spin-orbital liquid phases of an SU(2)-symmetric Kitaev honeycomb lattice model. We show that the spin dynamics…
