  © 2020 American Physical Society. Contrary to the conventional wisdom in Hermitian systems, a continuous quantum phase transition between gapped phases is shown to occur without closing the energy gap Δ in non-Hermitian quantum many-body systems. Here, the relevant length scale ζ≃vLR/Δ diverges because of the breakdown of the Lieb-Robinson bound on the velocity (i.e., unboundedness of vLR) rather than vanishing of the energy gap Δ. The susceptibility to a change in the system parameter exhibits a singularity due to nonorthogonality of eigenstates. As an illustrative example, we present an exactly solvable model by generalizing Kitaev's toric-code model to a non-Hermitian regime.

• Probing XY phase transitions in a Josephson junction array with tunable frustration

  　View Summary

  © 2020 American Physical Society. The seminal theoretical works of Berezinskii, Kosterlitz, and Thouless presented a paradigm for phase transitions in condensed matter that are driven by topological excitations. These transitions have been extensively studied in the context of two-dimensional XY models-coupled compasses- A nd have generated interest in the context of quantum simulation. Here, we use a circuit quantum-electrodynamics architecture to study the critical behavior of engineered XY models through their dynamical response. In particular, we examine not only the unfrustrated case but also the fully frustrated case which leads to enhanced degeneracy associated with the spin rotational [U(1)] and discrete chiral (Z2) symmetries. The nature of the transition in the frustrated case has posed a challenge for theoretical studies while direct experimental probes remain elusive. Here we identify the transition temperatures for both the unfrustrated and fully frustrated XY models by probing a Josephson junction array close to equilibrium using weak microwave excitations and measuring the temperature dependence of the effective damping obtained from the complex reflection coefficient. We argue that our probing technique is primarily sensitive to the dynamics of the U(1) part.

• Effects of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Interactions in Volborthite: Magnetic Orders and Thermal Hall Effect

  Furukawa Shunsuke, Momoi Tsutomu

  JOURNAL OF THE PHYSICAL SOCIETY OF JAPAN （Physical Society of Japan)  89 （ 3 ） 034711 - 034711 2020.03

  Research paper (scientific journal), Joint Work, Accepted,  ISSN  0031-9015

  　View Summary

  © 2020 The Author(s) Volborthite offers an interesting example of a highly frustrated quantum magnet in which ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions compete on anisotropic kagome lattices. A recent density functional theory calculation has provided a magnetic model based on coupled trimers, which is consistent with a broad 13-magnetization plateau observed experimentally. Here we study the effects of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interactions in volborthite. We derive an effective model in which pseudospin-12 moments emerging on trimers form a network of an anisotropic triangular lattice. Using the effective model, we show that for a magnetic field perpendicular to the kagome layer, magnon excitations from the 13-plateau feel a Berry curvature due to the DM interactions, giving rise to a thermal Hall effect. Our magnon Bose gas theory can explain qualitative features of the magnetization and the thermal Hall conductivity measured experimentally. A further quantitative comparison with experiment poses constraints on the coupling constants in the effective model, promoting a quasi-one-dimensional picture. Based on this picture, we analyze low-temperature magnetic phase diagrams using effective field theory, and point out their crucial dependence on the field direction.

• Magnetoelastic couplings in the deformed kagome quantum spin lattice of volborthite

  　View Summary

  © 2019 American Physical Society. Microscopic spin interactions on a deformed kagome lattice of volborthite are investigated through magnetoelastic couplings. A negative longitudinal magnetostriction ΔL/L<0 in the b axis is observed, which depends on the magnetization M with a peculiar relation of ΔL/L�M1.3. Based on the exchange striction model, it is argued that the negative magnetostriction originates from a pantographlike lattice change of the Cu-O-Cu chain in the b axis, and that the peculiar dependence arises from the local spin correlation. This idea is supported by DFT+U calculations simulating the lattice change and a finite-size calculation of the spin correlation, indicating that the recently proposed coupled-trimer model is a plausible one.

  　View Summary

  Topologically ordered states exhibit a number of intriguing properties such as quantized responses and quasiparticles obeying fractional statistics. In this study, we have theoretically explored novel topologically ordered states that can be realized in highly controlled ultracold atomic systems, and investigated their physical properties. In particular, we have determined detailed ground-state phase diagrams of two-component Bose gases in synthetic gauge fields, and revealed (i) the appearance of a bosonic integer quantum Hall state with unusual edge states and (ii) a nontrivial role of time-reversal symmetry in the interaction effect. We have also shown that Bose-Einstein condensate in optical lattices can host an excitation band with nontrivial topology, and that edge states originating from it can be observed by exploiting a macroscopic quantum interference.
