Unconventional topological order in the kagome XY toric code
C. Kölbl, M. Vieweg, K. P. Schmidt
We investigate the quantum phase diagram of the XY toric code (XYTC) on the kagome lattice consisting of hexagonal and triangular plaquette operators and conserved star operat…
Immobile and mobile excitations of three-spin interactions on the diamond chain
M. Bayer, M. Vieweg, K. P. Schmidt
We present a solvable one-dimensional spin-1/2 model on the diamond chain featuring three-spin interactions, which displays both, mobile excitations driving a second-order phase tr…
Absence of topological order in the checkerboard toric code
M. Vieweg, V. Kott, L. Lenke +2
We investigate the checkerboard toric code which corresponds to the -symmetry enriched toric code with two distinct star sublattices. One can therefore tune from the l…
Fracton and topological order in the XY checkerboard toric code
M. Vieweg, K. P. Schmidt
We introduce the XY checkerboard toric code. It represents a generalization of the toric code with two types of star operators with and flavor and two anisot…
