We consider the square lattice $S$=1/2 quantum compass model (QCM) parameterized by $J_x, J_z$, under a field, $\mathbf{h}$, in the $x$-$z$ plane. At the special field value, $(h_x^\star,h_z^\star)$=$2S(J_x,J_z)$, we show that the QCM…
We find all the exact eigenstates and eigenvalues of a spin-1/2 model on square lattice: $H=16g \sum_i S^y_i S^x_{i+x} S^y_{i+x+y} S^x_{i+y}$. We show that the ground states for $g<0$ and $g>0$ have different quantum orders described by Z2A…
