Abstract

We review the notion of Yang-Baxter integrability for spin chains that have Hilbert spaces with constraints, such as a Rydberg blockade. We focus on anyonic chains, whose constraints arise from the fusion rules of the fusion categories on which they are based. We discuss the emergence of Temperley-Lieb algebras and present a new result on which types of anyonic chains exhibit them. We then give an overview of known results for integrable anyonic chains and extend them to several fusion categories up to rank 77. Using a modification of the boost operator formalism, we find several new integrable anyonic chains and discuss some of their properties. These include spin-32\frac32 models for su(2)k\mathfrak{su}(2)_k fusion categories, anyonic chains based on the Tambara-Yamagami fusion categories TY(Zn)(\mathbb{Z}_n), and product fusion categories Fib×\timesFib and Fib×\timesIsing. We review recent results for spin chains based on the Haagerup-Izumi fusion category HI(Z3)(\mathbb{Z}_3), and present preliminary numerics for a HI(Z5)(\mathbb{Z}_5) model.
