We investigate the spin and orbital correlations of a superexchange model with spin $S=1$ and orbital $L=1$ relevant for $5d^4$ transition metal Mott insulators, using exact diagonalization and density matrix renormalization group (DMRG).…
We propose a method for controlling the exchange interactions of Mott insulators with strong spin-orbit coupling. We consider a multiorbital system with strong spin-orbit coupling and a circularly polarized light field and derive its…
The spin ice materials, including Ho2Ti2O7 and Dy2Ti2O7, are rare earth pyrochlore magnets which, at low temperatures, enter a constrained paramagnetic state with an emergent gauge freedom. Remarkably, the spin ices provide one of very few…
For a system at a temperature of absolute zero, all thermal fluctuations are frozen out, while quantum fluctuations prevail. These microscopic quantum fluctuations can induce a macroscopic phase transition in the ground state of a many-body…
Strongly correlated quantum systems can exhibit exotic behavior controlled by topology. We predict that the \nu=1/2 fractional Chern insulator arises naturally in a two-dimensional array of driven, dipolar-interacting spins. As a specific…
Many metallic transition-metal oxides turn insulating when grown as films that are only a few unit-cells thick. The microscopic origins of these thickness induced metal-to-insulator transitions however remain under dispute. Here, we…
Quantum fluctuations originating phase competition or geometrical frustration of spins lead to novel states such as a quantum critical point and a quantum spin liquid where the strong quantum fluctuations suppress any ordered states even at…
Spin-liquid behavior was recently suggested experimentally in the moderately one-dimensional organic compound $\kappa$-H$_3$(Cat-EDT-TTF)$_2$. This compound can be modeled by the one-band Hubbard model on the anisotropic triangular lattice…
We discuss spin and orbital ordering in the twofold orbital degenerate superexchange model in three dimensions relevant to perovskite transition metal oxides. We focus on the particular point on the classical phase diagram where orbital…
The combination of strong correlation and emergent lattice can be achieved when quantum gases are confined in a superradiant Fabry-Perot cavity. In addition to the discoveries of exotic phases, such as density wave ordered Mott insulator…
We study the effects of hole doping on one-dimensional Mott insulators with orbital degrees of freedom. We describe the system in terms of a generalized t-J model. At a specific point in parameter space the model becomes integrable in…
The quasi-two-dimensional material Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ is a paradigmatic example of a correlated system that exhibits unconventional superconductivity and intriguing magnetic properties. The interplay between these two effects and the resulting…
The Mott insulator YVO$_{3}$ with $T_{N}$ = 118 K is revisited to explore the role of spin, lattice and orbital correlations across the multiple structural and magnetic transitions observed as a function of temperature. Upon cooling, the…
High-resolution resonant inelastic x-ray scattering has been used to determine the momentum dependence of orbital excitations in Mott-insulating LaTiO$_3$ and YTiO$_3$ over a wide range of the Brillouin zone. The data are compared to…
Correlation effects in CuO$_2$ layers give rise to a complicated landscape of collective excitations in high-T$_{\rm c}$ cuprates. Their description requires an accurate account for electronic fluctuations at a very broad energy range and…
Identifying and characterizing the parent phases of iron-based superconductors is an important step towards understanding the mechanism for their high temperature superconductivity. We present an investigation into the magnetic interactions…
We study the spin fluctuation of the oxygen deficient planes of YBa(2)Cu(3)O(6+x). The Cu-O chains that constitute these planes are described by a model that includes antiferromagnetic interactions between spins and Kondo-like scattering of…
We study the dipole oscillations of strongly correlated 1D bosons, in the hard-core limit, on a lattice, by an exact numerical approach. We show that far from the regime where a Mott insulator appears in the system, damping is always…
We consider bosonic dipolar molecules in an optical lattice prepared in a mixture of different rotational states. The 1/r^3 interaction between molecules for this system is produced by exchanging a quantum of angular momentum between two…
We study the magnetic properties around the Mott transition in the Kagom\'e lattice Hubbard model by the cellular dynamical mean field theory combined with quantum Monte Carlo simulations. By investigating the q-dependence of the…
