The $S=3/2$ Kitaev honeycomb model (KHM) is unique among the spin-$S$ Kitaev models due to a massive ground state quasi-degeneracy that hampered previous numerical and analytical studies. In a recent work~\cite{jin2022unveiling}, we showed…
The Kitaev model on a honeycomb lattice may provide a robust topological quantum memory platform, but finding a material that realizes the unique spin liquid phase remains a considerable challenge. We demonstrate that an effective Kitaev…
The layered triangular lattice owing to $1:2$ order of $B$ and $B'$ sites in the triple perovskite $A_3 B B'_2$O$_9$ family provides an enticing domain for exploring the complex phenomena of quantum spin liquids (QSLs). We report a…
Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are topologically ordered exotic states of matter that host fractionalized excitations. Kitaev proposed a particular route towards a QSL via strongly bond-dependent interactions on the hexagonal lattice. A number…
We investigate the edge magnetism and the spin transport properties of an SU(2)-symmetric Kitaev spin liquid (KSL) model put forward by Yao and Lee [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{107}, 087205 (2011)] on the honeycomb lattice. In this model, the…
The Kitaev quantum spin liquid (QSL) on the two-dimensional honeycomb lattice epitomizes an entangled topological state, where the spins fractionalize into Majorana fermions. This state has aroused tremendous interest because it harbors…
The 5d-electron honeycomb compound H$_3$LiIr$_2$O$_3$ [K. Kitagawa $et$ $al.$, Nature 554, 341-345 (2018)] exhibits an apparent quantum spin liquid (QSL) state. In this intercalated spin-orbital compound, a remarkable pile up of low-energy…

Building on the recent advancements on moir\'e superlattices, we propose an exactly solvable model with Kitaev-type interactions on a bilayer honeycomb lattice for both AA stacking and moir\'e superlattices. Using Monte Carlo simulations…
We derive and study a spin one-half Hamiltonian on a honeycomb lattice describing the exchange interactions between Ir$^{4+}$ ions in a family of layered iridates $A_2$IrO$_3$ ($A$=Li,Na). Depending on the microscopic parameters, the…
The Kitaev honeycomb model (KHM) consists of spin-$1/2$ particles on a honeycomb lattice with direction-dependent Ising-like interactions. It can alternatively be described in terms of non-interacting Majorana fermions, can be solved…
The detection of considerable spin frustration in honeycomb cobalt oxide compounds indicates the presence of sizable Kitaev interactions in these systems, enlarging the pool of Kitaev spin liquid candidates. Several key questions remain to…
The suppression of magnetic order and the detection of a half-quantized thermal Hall effect in {\alpha}-RuCl3 under an external magnetic field have sparked significant debate, whether these phenomena point to spin fractionalization, as…

We report the discovery of a novel gapless quantum spin liquid in the S=1 honeycomb system Cu$_3$LiRu$_2$O$_6$ with Ru$^{4+}$ ($4d^4$) where moments remain dynamic down to 50 mK. Heat capacity measurements show no sign of magnetic ordering…
Kitaev magnets are materials with bond-dependent Ising interactions between localized spins on a honeycomb lattice. Such interactions could lead to a quantum spin-liquid (QSL) ground state at zero temperature. Recent theoretical studies…
The frustrated XY model on the honeycomb lattice has drawn lots of attentions because of the potential emergence of chiral spin liquid (CSL) with the increasing of frustrations or competing interactions. In this work, we study the extended…
Kitaev iridates have been proposed as candidates for realizing an elusive quantum spin liquid (QSL) state, in which strong spin-orbit coupling and bond-directional exchange generate a highly frustrated and entangled ground state. However,…
