D-Wave Systems produces superconducting quantum processing units (QPUs) that instantiate the quantum annealing algorithm for solving hard optimization problems. However, these QPUs have also proved to be an interesting platform for studying quantum magnetism within the context of the so-called transverse field Ising model. Recent publications have shown how such QPUs can be used to study...
Conventional magnets are characterized by symmetry breaking and the formation long-range magnetic order at low temperatures. New and unanticipated phases of matter can arise when such symmetry breaking is inhibited by highly frustrated magnetic interactions. A spectacular example of this is the pyrochlore lattice with isotropic antiferromagnetic interactions, where the collective behavior of...
Enormous interests generated by graphene physics have made honeycomb lattice one of the most studied two-dimensional lattice structures in recent years. In particular, the realization that bond-dependent anisotropic magnetic interactions can be found in honeycomb lattice materials with strong spin-orbit coupling has made a profound impact on quantum magnetism research. In this contribution, we...
