An important step towards a comprehensive understanding of far-from-equilibrium dynamics of quantum many-body systems is the identification of unifying features that are independent of microscopic details of the system. We experimentally…
We investigate the energy landscape of the kagome Heisenberg antiferromagnet within its coplanar ground-state manifold. Although coplanar states are degenerate at harmonic order, transitions between them require collective weathervane-loop…

The icosahedron has a ground state magnetization discontinuity in an external magnetic field when classical spins mounted on its vertices are coupled according to the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model. This is so even if there is no…
