Motzkin chain is a model of nearest-neighbor interacting quantum $s=1$ spins with open boundary conditions. It is known that it has a unique ground state which can be viewed as a sum of Motzkin paths. We consider the case of periodic…
We present exact results on the exactly solvable spin chain of Bravyi et al [Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 207202 (2012)]. This model is a spin one chain and has a Hamiltonian that is local and translationally invariant in the bulk. It has a unique…
We prove that the energy gap of the model proposed by Zhang, Ahmadain, and Klich [1] is exponentially small in the square of the system size. In [2] a class of exactly solvable quantum spin chain models was proposed that have integer spins…
Motzkin spin-chains, which include 'colorless' (integer spin $s=1$) and 'colorful' ($s \geq 2$) variants, are one-dimensional (1D) local integer spin models notable for their lack of a conformal field theory (CFT) description of their…
We consider the spin-one Motzkin chain with area weight $t>0$. We resolve three questions from the literature about this model. We prove (i) existence of a uniform spectral gap for all $t<1$ as conjectured by Zhang--Ahmadein--Klich…
Motzkin spin chain is a well-known mathematical model with connections to symmetry-protected topological phases, such as the Haldane phase, as well as to concepts in the AdS/CFT correspondence. They exhibit highly entangled ground states…
Motzkin spin chains are frustration-free models whose ground-state is a combination of Motzkin paths. The weight of such path contributions can be controlled by a deformation parameter t. As a function of the latter these models, beside the…
