We study the physical consequences of site dilution in Kitaev's honeycomb model, in both its gapped and gapless phases. We show that a vacancy binds a flux of the emergent $Z_2$ gauge field and induces a local moment. In the gapped phase…
We study the effect of adding disorder to the exactly solvable Kitaev model on the hyper-honeycomb lattice, which hosts both gapped and gapless spin liquid phases with an emergent $\mathbb{Z}_2$ gauge field. The latter has an unusual…
We study the consequences of disorder in the Kitaev honeycomb model, considering both site dilution and exchange randomness. We show that a single vacancy binds a flux and induces a local moment. This moment is polarised by an applied field…
We study the effects of disorder on a Kitaev chain with longer-range hopping and pairing terms which is capable of forming local zero energy excitations and, hence, serves as a minimal model for localization-protected edge qubits. The clean…
The Kitaev honeycomb model supports gapless and gapped quantum spin liquid phases. Its exact solvability relies on extensively many locally conserved quantities. Any real-world manifestation of these phases would include imperfections in…
We study the effect of site dilution in Kitaev's model. We derive an analytical solution of the dynamical spin correlation functions for arbitrary configurations of $Z_2$ fluxes. By incorporating this solution into classical Monte Carlo…
We present a study of different models of local disorder in graphene. Our focus is on the main effects that vacancies -- random, compensated and uncompensated --, local impurities and substitutional impurities bring into the electronic…
In this study, the Haldane model's edge states are utilized to illustrate that a zero-energy localized state forms around a single vacancy in the model. In order to complete this task, the conventional unit cell associated to the Haldane…
The Kitaev honeycomb model has attracted significant attention due to its exactly solvable spin-liquid ground state with fractionalized Majorana excitations and its possible materialization in magnetic Mott insulators with strong spin-orbit…
Disorder-free localization has recently emerged as a mechanism for ergodicity breaking in homogeneous lattice gauge theories. In this work we show that this mechanism can lead to unconventional states of quantum matter as the absence of…
Motivated by the potential to suppress the antiferromagnetic long-range order in favor of the long-sought-after Kitaev quantum spin liquid state, we study the effect of spin vacancies in the extended Kitaev-Heisenberg model. In particular,…
The interplay of topology and disorder in non-equilibrium quantum systems is an intriguing subject. Here, we look for a suitable platform that enables an in-depth exploration of the topic. To this end, We analyze the topological and…
Using the tight-binding model, we investigate the influence of vacancy disorder on electrical transport in graphene Hall bars in the presence of quantizing magnetic fields. Disorder, induced by a random distribution of monovacancies, breaks…
We study the interplay of disorder and Heisenberg interactions in Kitaev model on honeycomb lattice. The effect of disorder on the transition between Kitaev spin liquid and magnetic ordered states as well as the stability of magnetic…
In recent years, tools from quantum information theory have become indispensable in characterizing many-body systems. In this work, we employ measures of entanglement to study the interplay between disorder and the topological phase in 1D…
We study the combined effects of disorder and range of the couplings on the phase diagram of one-dimensional topological superconductors. We consider an extended version of the Kitaev chain where hopping and pairing terms couple many sites.…
The Kitaev model is a fascinating example of an exactly solvable model displaying a spin-liquid ground state in two dimensions. However, deviations from the original Kitaev model are expected to appear in real materials. In this Letter, we…
We study a periodically driven one dimensional Kitaev model in the presence of disorder. In the clean limit our model exhibits four topological phases corresponding to the existence or non-existence of edge modes at zero and pi quasienergy.…
The zero energy modes induced by vacancies in ABC stacked trilayer graphene are investigated. Depending on the position of the vacancy, a new zero energy solution is realised, different from those obtained in multilayer compounds with…
We numerically study the effect of disorder on the stability of the many body zero mode in a Kitaev chain with local interactions. Our numerical procedure allows us to resolve the position-space and multi-particle structure of the zero…
