We use Quantum Monte-Carlo methods to study the ground state phase diagram of a S=1/2 honeycomb lattice magnet in which a nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic exchange J (favoring N\'eel order) competes with two different multi-spin…
We study the transition between N\'eel and columnar valence-bond solid ordering in two-dimensional $S=3/2$ square lattice quantum antiferromagnets with SO(3) symmetry. According to the deconfined criticality scenario, this transition can be…
We generalize the SU(N=2) $S=1/2$ square-lattice quantum magnet with nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic coupling ($J_1$) and next-nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic coupling ($J_2$) to arbitrary $N$. For all $N>4$, the ground state has…
Using the coupled cluster method we study the phase diagram of the spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a honeycomb lattice with nearest-neighbor exchange coupling $J_{1}>0$ and frustrating next-nearest-neighbor coupling $J_{2} \equiv…
We consider spin-half quantum antiferromagnets in two spatial dimensions in the quantum limit, where the spins are in a valence bond solid (VBS) phase. The transitions between two such VBS phases is studied. In some cases, an interesting…
We present an extensive quantum Monte Carlo study of the N\'eel-valence bond solid (VBS) phase transition on rectangular and honeycomb lattice SU($N$) antiferromagnets in sign problem free models. We find that in contrast to the honeycomb…
Using ground-state projector quantum Monte Carlo simulations in the valence bond basis, it is demonstrated that non-frustrating four-spin interactions can destroy the Neel order of the two-dimensional S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet and…
We study the N\'eel to four-fold columnar valence bond solid (cVBS) quantum phase transition in a sign free $S=1$ square lattice model. This is the same kind of transition that for $S=1/2$ has been argued to realize the prototypical…
We consider the $S=1/2$ Heisenberg model with nearest-neighbor interaction $J$ and an additional multi-spin interaction $Q_3$ on the square lattice. The $Q_3$ term consists of three bond-singlet projectors and is chosen to favor the…
Using variational wave functions and Monte Carlo techniques, we study the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model with first-neighbor $J_1$ and second-neighbor $J_2$ antiferromagnetic couplings on the honeycomb lattice. We perform a systematic…
We use exact quantum Monte Carlo simulations to demonstrate that the N\'eel ground state of an antiferromagnetic SU(2) spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ Heisenberg model on the honeycomb lattice can be destroyed by a coupling to quantum phonons. We find a…
Motivated by recent numerical results, we study the quantum phase transitions between Z_2 spin liquid, Neel ordered, and various valence bond solid (VBS) states on the honeycomb and square lattices, with emphasis on the staggered VBS. In…
To examine the validity of the scenario of the deconfined critical phenomena, we carry out a quantum Monte Carlo simulation for the SU($N$) generalization of the Heisenberg model with four-body and six-body interactions. The quantum phase…
We study spin-$1/2$ chains with long-range power-law decaying unfrustrated (bipartite) Heisenberg exchange $J_r \propto r^{-\alpha}$ and multi-spin interactions $Q$ favoring a valence-bond solid (VBS) ground state. Employing quantum Monte…
We study the ground-state (gs) phase diagram of the frustrated spin-1/2 $J_{1}$-$J_{2}$-$J_{3}$ antiferromagnet with $J_{2} = J_{3} =\kappa J_1$ on the honeycomb lattice, using coupled-cluster theory and exact diagonalization methods. We…
We show numerically that the `deconfined' quantum critical point between the N\'eel antiferromagnet and the columnar valence-bond-solid, for a square lattice of spin-1/2s, has an emergent $SO(5)$ symmetry. This symmetry allows the N\'eel…
We use quantum Monte Carlo simulations to study a quantum $S=1/2$ spin model with competing multi-spin interactions. We find a quantum phase transition between a columnar valence-bond solid (cVBS) and a N\'eel antiferromagnet (AFM), as in…
Berry phase interference arguments that underlie the theory of deconfined quantum criticality (DQC) for spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ antiferromagnets have also been invoked to allow for continuous transitions in spin-1 magnets including a N\'eel to…
Using a loop-cluster algorithm we investigate the spin 1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a square lattice with exchange coupling $J$ and an additional four-spin interaction of strength $Q$. We confirm the existence of a phase transition…
We report large-scale quantum Monte Carlo calculations at the T=0 antiferromagnetic to valence-bond-solid (VBS) transition of a two-dimensional S=1/2 XY model with four-spin interactions. Finite-size scaling suggests a discontinuous spin…
