We study vison excitations in a quantum dimer model interpolating between the Rokhsar-Kivelson models on the square and triangular lattices. In the square-lattice case, the model is known to be critical and characterized by U(1) topological…

We define a quantum monomer-dimer model in the space of maximal dimer coverings of quasicrystalline Penrose tilings. Since Penrose tilings do not admit perfect dimer coverings, as shown by F. Flicker et al., PRX 10, 011005 (2020), monomers…
We investigate the zero-temperature phase diagram of the fully frustrated transverse field Ising model on the square lattice both in the classical limit and in the presence of quantum fluctuations. At the classical level (the limit of…
