Higher Landau-Level Analogs and Signatures of Non-Abelian States in Twisted Bilayer MoTe_{2}.
Phys Rev Lett
February 2025
University of Washington, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Seattle, Washington 98195, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Recent discoveries of fractional Chern insulators in moiré superlattices, particularly in twisted MoTe_{2} bilayers, reveal three consecutive flat Chern bands at specific twist angles (around 2°) that relate to Landau level physics.
- The study identifies four consecutive C=1 bands in the K valley at twist angles of 2.00° and 1.89°, employing a six-orbital model constructed from density functional theory (DFT) to describe the Chern bands.
- The research also highlights potential non-Abelian states when the second moiré miniband is half-filled, suggesting implications for fault-tolerant quantum information processing using non-Abelian anyons at zero magnetic field.
Particle exchange statistics beyond fermions and bosons.
Nature
January 2025
Department of Physics and Astronomy, Rice University, Houston, TX, USA.
Article Synopsis
- There are generally two known types of particle statistics in quantum mechanics: fermions and bosons, along with a rare exception called anyons in two dimensions.
- The concept of parastatistics, previously thought to be equivalent to fermions and bosons, is now shown to allow for unique particle types that follow distinct exclusion principles.
- This research introduces a new theory involving these "paraparticles," leading to the discovery of new quasiparticle behaviors in quantum spin models, potentially paving the way for new elementary particle categories in physics.
Exact Deconfined Gauge Structures in the Higher-Spin Yao-Lee Model: A Quantum Spin-Orbital Liquid with Spin Fractionalization and Non-Abelian Anyons.
Phys Rev Lett
December 2024
Institute for Advanced Study, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China.
The nonintegrable higher spin Kitaev honeycomb model has an exact Z_{2} gauge structure, which exclusively identifies quantum spin liquid in the half-integer spin Kitaev model. But its constraints for the integer-spin Kitaev model are much limited, and even trivially gapped insulators cannot be excluded. The physical implications of exact Z_{2} gauge structure, especially Z_{2} fluxes, in integer-spin models remain largely unexplored.

In the presence of an external magnetic field, the Kitaev model could host either gapped topological anyons or gapless Majorana fermions. In α-RuCl_{3}, the gapped and gapless cases are only separated by a 30° rotation of the in-plane magnetic field vector. The presence or absence of the spectral gap is key for understanding the thermal transport behavior in α-RuCl_{3}.

We study the thermodynamics of a crystalline solid by applying intermediate statistics obtained by deforming known solid state models using the mathematics of q analogs. We apply the resulting q deformation to both the Einstein and Debye models and study the deformed thermal and electrical conductivities and the deformed Debye specific heat. We find that the q deformation acts in two different ways-but not necessarily as independent mechanisms.
