Mott insulators in the strong spin-orbit coupling limit: from Heisenberg to a quantum compass and Kitaev models.
We study the magnetic interactions in Mott-Hubbard systems with partially filled t_{2g} levels and with strong spin-orbit coupling. The latter entangles the spin and orbital spaces, and leads to a rich variety of the low energy Hamiltonians that extrapolate from the Heisenberg to a quantum compass model depending on the lattice geometry. This gives way to "engineer" in such Mott insulators an e...
متن کاملIsing transition in a one-dimensional quarter-filled electron system with dimerization
We examine critical properties of the quarter-filled one-dimensional Hubbard model with dimerization and with the onsite and nearest-neighbor Coulomb repulsion U and V . By utilizing the bosonization method, it is shown that the system exhibits an Ising quantum phase transition from the Mott insulating state to the chargeordered insulating state. It is also shown that the dielectric permittivit...
متن کاملScalable quantum computation in systems with Bose-Hubbard dynamics
Several proposals for quantum computation utilize a lattice type architecture with qubits trapped by a periodic potential. For systems undergoing many body interactions described by the Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian, the ground state of the system carries number fluctuations that scale with the number of qubits. This process degrades the initialization of the quantum computer register and can introd...
متن کاملStability of the spontaneous quantum Hall state in the triangular Kondo-lattice model.
We study the behavior of the quarter-filled Kondo-lattice model on a triangular lattice by combining a zero-temperature variational approach and finite-temperature Monte Carlo simulations. For intermediate coupling between itinerant electrons and classical moments S(j), we find a thermodynamic phase transition into an exotic spin ordering with uniform scalar spin chirality and (S(j))=0. The sta...
متن کاملOperator Locality in Quantum Simulation of Fermionic Models
Simulating fermionic lattice models with qubits requires mapping fermionic degrees of freedom to qubits. The simplest method for this task, the Jordan-Wigner transformation, yields strings of Pauli operators acting on an extensive number of qubits. This overhead can be a hindrance to implementation of qubit-based quantum simulators, especially in the analog context. Here we thus review and anal...
