We provide an exact study of dynamical correlations for the quantum spin-orbital liquid phases of an SU(2)-symmetric Kitaev honeycomb lattice model. We show that the spin dynamics in this Kugel-Khomskii type model is exactly the…
The theory for the vanishing of N\'eel order in the spin $S=1/2$ square lattice antiferromagnet has been the focus of attention for many decades. A consensus appears to have emerged in recent numerical studies on the antiferromagnet with…
We classify distinct types of quantum number fractionalization occurring in two-dimensional topologically ordered phases, focusing in particular on phases with Z2 topological order, that is, on gapped Z2 spin liquids. We find that the…
We present a field theory description of a quantum phase transition in two spatial dimensions between a $U(1)$ algebraic spin liquid with $N$ flavors of gapless two-component Dirac fermionic spinons and a gapped $\mathbb{Z}_2$ spin liquid.…
We construct an exactly solvable spin-orbital model on a decorated square lattice that realizes an SU(2)-invariant Majorana spin liquid with parton Fermi surfaces, of the kind discussed recently by Biswas et al. [ Phys. Rev. B. {\bf 83},…
Motivated by recent experiments on the triangular lattice Mott-Hubbard system kappa-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu2(CN)3, we develop a general formalism to investigate quantum spin liquid insulators adjacent to the Mott transition in Hubbard models. This…
Recent experiments on the "hyper-kagome" lattice system Na$_4$Ir$_3$O$_8$ have demonstrated that it is a rare example of a three dimensional spin-1/2 frustrated antiferromagnet. We investigate the role of quantum fluctuations as the primary…
We show that the Halperin-Haldane SQHE wave function can be written in the form of a product of a wave function for charged semions in a magnetic field and a wave function for the Chiral Spin Liquid of neutral spin-$\12$ semions. We…
Twisting moir\'e heterostructures to the flatband regime allows for the formation of strongly correlated quantum states, since the dramatic reduction of the bandwidth can cause the residual electronic interactions to set the principal…
We revisit the description of the low-energy singlet sector of the spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet on kagome in terms of an effective quantum dimer model. With the help of exact diagonalizations of appropriate finite-size clusters, we…
We analyze a Higgs transition from a U(1) Dirac spin liquid to a gapless $\mathbb{Z}_2$ spin liquid. This $\mathbb{Z}_2$ spin liquid is of relevance to the spin $S=1/2$ square lattice antiferromagnet, where recent numerical studies have…
We use a projective symmetry group analysis to determine all symmetric spin liquids on the stuffed honeycomb lattice Heisenberg model. This lattice interpolates between honeycomb, triangular and dice lattices, always preserving hexagonal…
The pyrochlore materials have long been predicted to harbor a quantum spin liquid, an intrinsic long-range-entangled state supporting fractionalized excitations. Existing pyrochlore experiments, on the other hand, have discovered several…
Spin-singlet orders are studied for the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model with spin $S$>1/2 on a breathing pyrochlore lattice, where tetrahedron units are weakly coupled and exchange constants have two values $0<J' \ll J$. The ground state…
We propose a hierarchy of spin liquids with spin S, which are generated via a Schwinger boson projection from 2S (Abelian) chiral spin liquids with S=1/2. We argue that the P and T invariant liquids we construct for integer spin S support…
The largest allowed symmetry in a spin-1 quantum system is an $SU(3)$ symmetry rather than the $SO(3)$ spin rotation. In this work, we reveal some $SU(2)$ symmetries as subgroups of $SU(3)$ that, to the best of our knowledge, have not…
The quantum antiferromagnet on the pyrochlore lattice offers an archetypal frustrated system, which potentially realizes a quantum spin liquid characterized by the absence of standard spontaneous symmetry breaking even at zero temperature,…
Recently it was realized that the zigzag magnetic order in Kitaev materials can be stabilized by small negative off-diagonal interactions called the $\Gamma'$ terms. To fully understand the effect of the $\Gamma'$ interactions, we…
