Emergent Glassy Behavior in a Kagome Rydberg Atom Array

Zheng Yan et al.

Summary: We perform large-scale quantum Monte Carlo simulations on a realistic Hamiltonian of kagome-lattice Rydberg atom arrays and analyze their static and dynamic properties. We find emergent glassy behavior in a region of parameter space between two valence bond solid phases. The extent and phase transitions of this glassy phase as well as its slow time dynamics and experimental considerations for its detection are discussed. Our proposal opens up a new route to studying real-time glassy phenomena and highlights the potential for quantum simulation of distinct phases of quantum matter.

Robustness of the thermal Hall effect close to half-quantization in α-RuCl3

J. A. N. Bruin et al.

Summary: A fractionalized excitation is observed in quantum spin liquids, providing a way to observe the quantum spin liquid state. The thermal Hall conductivity in alpha-RuCl3 exhibits approximately half-integer quantization, especially in a plateau-like parameter regime for high magnetic fields and low temperatures. Cooling to low temperatures suppresses the thermal Hall conductivity.

Berry phases of vison transport in Z2 topologically ordered states from exact fermion-flux lattice dualities

Chuan Chen et al.

Summary: We have developed an exact mapping method that can map all states and operators from two-dimensional lattices of spins-1/2 into lattices of fermions and bosons with mutual semionic statistical interaction. This mapping does not rely on imposing local conservation laws and captures the motion of charges and fluxes equally. Through this mapping, we are able to compute the Berry phases for the transport of fluxes in a class of symmetry-enriched topologically ordered states with emergent Z2 gauge fields, and determine the conditions under which the Majorana-carrying flux excitation acquires a specific phase when moving around a single plaquette.

Heart of Entanglement: Chiral, Nematic, and Incommensurate Phases in the Kitaev-Gamma Ladder in a Field

Erik S. Sorensen et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the Kitaev-Gamma ladder model to explore the phase space of disordered states potentially becoming spin liquids in the two-dimensional limit. The research reveals a rich phase diagram with 15 distinct phases emerging due to the competition between interactions and magnetic field, including a highly entangled phase with staggered chirality. By comparing results with a C-3 symmetric cluster of the two-dimensional honeycomb lattice, insights into possible spin liquids in the two-dimensional limit are provided.

Correlation holes and slow dynamics induced by fractional statistics in gapped quantum spin liquids

Oliver Hart et al.

Summary: The study focuses on the interplay of two types of excitations, spinons and visons, in quantum spin liquids, exhibiting a feedback mechanism influenced by non-trivial mutual statistics. This feedback mechanism has significant implications for the system's thermodynamic and transport properties, as well as its response to temperature changes. The authors predict detectable signatures of non-trivial mutual statistics of fractionalized excitations in gapped topological quantum spin liquids at finite temperature.

Oscillations of the thermal conductivity in the spin-liquid state of α-RuCl3

Peter Czajka et al.

Summary: Magnetic spin liquids cannot achieve magnetic order even at millikelvin temperatures due to conflicting constraints on each spin, leading to intense interest in the resulting quantum spin-liquid state with unusual excitations; Observations of oscillations in the thermal conductivity of alpha-RuCl3 in a specific magnetic field range reveal periodic behavior, closely related to the temperature-induced exponential decrease in oscillation amplitude and emergence of anomalous planar thermal Hall conductivity above approximately 2 K.

Disorder-Free Localization in an Interacting 2D Lattice Gauge Theory

P. Karpov et al.

Summary: The concept of disorder-free localization as a mechanism for ergodicity breaking in low-dimensional homogeneous lattice gauge theories is introduced in this study. Surprisingly, nonergodic behavior can also be observed in genuinely interacting systems in two spatial dimensions due to this mechanism. Furthermore, the study shows that the gauge invariance can act as an alternative robust localization mechanism surviving in higher dimensions in the presence of interactions.

Summary: The article reviews the localization transition that Dirac fermions coupled to non-Abelian gauge theories may undergo, discussing its relationship to finite-temperature transitions leading to fermion deconfinement and spontaneous chiral symmetry restoration at low temperatures. It also touches upon the universality of the transition, its connection to topological excitations of the gauge field, and the appearance of the localization transition in other related models, along with speculations about its physical relevance in those models.

Subdiffusive dynamics and critical quantum correlations in a disorder-free localized Kitaev honeycomb model out of equilibrium

Guo-Yi Zhu et al.

Summary: Disorder-free localization as a mechanism for ergodicity breaking in homogeneous lattice gauge theories can lead to unconventional states of quantum matter. Studying a Kitaev honeycomb model in a skew magnetic field revealed nonergodic dynamics and subballistic power-law entanglement growth, challenging typical thermalizing systems. This work highlights the potential for disorder-free localized lattice gauge theories to realize quantum states in two dimensions beyond equilibrium contexts.
