Abstract

Quantum phase transitions (QPTs) are investigated in biquadratic spin-$1$ XY chain with rhombic single-ion anisotropy by using the ground state energy (GE), the bipartite entanglement entropy (BEE), and the mutual information (MI). It turns out that there are three spin nematic phases and two Tomonaga-Luttinger (TL) liquid phases with the central charge $c = 1$. The TL Liquid phases emerge roughly for biquadratic interaction strength two times stronger than the absolute value of the single-ion anisotropy. The GE and the derivatives up to the second order reveal a first-order QPT between spin nematic ferroquarupole (FQ) phases but cannot capture an evident signal of QPTs between the spin nematic phases and the TL Liquid phases as well as QPT between the two TL liquid phases. The TL liquid-to-liquid transition point features a highly degenerate state and the spin-block entanglement entropy increases logarithmically with block size. The BEE exhibits a divergent or convergent behavior identifying the TL Liquid or spin nematic FQ phases, respectively. Similarly, the MI and the spin-spin correlation are shown to decay algebraically or exponentially with increasing the lattice distance in the TL Liquid or spin nematic FQ phases, respectively. In the TL liquid phase, the exponents $η_I$ and $η_z$ of the MI and the spin-spin correlation vary with the interaction parameter of the biquadratic interaction strength and the rhombic single-ion anisotropy and satisfy the relationship of $η_z <η_I$. Such changes of characteristic behavior of the BEE, the MI and the spin-spin correlation indicate an occurrence of the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT)-type QPT between the TL Liquid phase and the spin nematic FQ phase. The staggered spin fluctuation $\langle S^x S^y \rangle$ is shown to play a significant role for the emergence of the TL liquid phase and thus give rise to the BKT-type QPT.

Exotic Spin Excitation Continuum in a Weakly Coupled Quantum Chainsaw Antiferromagnet

Collective motions in strongly interacting magnets involve many spins and are often described in terms of integer-spin excitations. However, in certain cases, the collective motion can behave as if these integer excitations break apart into smaller, particle-like entities with unusual properties. Such fractionalized excitations in quantum magnets are commonly associated either with topological order in two dimensions or with criticality in one dimension. It remains unclear how these distinct mechanisms are connected across a dimensional crossover. Here we investigate the Ti-based quantum antiferromagnet, $Cs_{8}LiNa_{3}Ti_{12}F_{48}$, in which $Ti^{3+}$ ($3d^{1}$, $S=1/2$) ions interact antiferromagnetically within distorted kagome planes. Our inelastic neutron scattering study on a single crystal reveals a frustrated network of weakly coupled spin-$1/2$ chainsaws, realizing a regime of dimensional frustration in which interchain couplings fail to establish coherent two-dimensional order. The magnetic excitation spectrum exhibits a strong continuum spanning the full measured momentum and energy phase space. In addition, the dynamic spin correlation function displays rod-like scattering in momentum space, indicating a quasi-one-dimensional nature of the magnetic correlations. These results point to fractionalized excitations with intrinsically directional character, demonstrating that signatures of one-dimensional criticality can persist within a two-dimensional lattice. Our findings establish anisotropic fractionalization as a distinct organizing principle for quantum-disordered states.

Quantum-interference-driven orbital density wave and high-temperature superconductivity in trilayer nickelates

Intertwined charge-density-wave (CDW) and spin-density-wave (SDW) orders are a hallmark of high-temperature superconducting multilayer nickelates. In trilayer La4Ni3O_{10}, charge correlations develop at temperatures above the onset of long-range spin order, and the characteristic ordering wavevectors satisfy $Q_{cdw} \approx 2Q_{sdw}$. Here, using a density-wave equation with vertex corrections, we show that quantum interference between short-range SDW fluctuations at $q \approx Q_{sdw}$ on the outer NiO2 layers generates an inter-outer-layer bond order at $Q_{cdw} \approx 2 Q_{sdw}$. This bond order induces a pronounced inner-layer-centered orbital order, with antiphase modulations of the Ni $d_{3z^2-r^2}$ and $d_{x^2-y^2}$ occupations, producing strong orbital polarization but only weak total charge modulation. This intertwined bond-and-orbital order accounts for the layer-selective electronic reconstruction inferred from NMR/NQR and is consistent with Raman spectroscopy and scanning tunnelling microscopy measurements. The same orbital and spin fluctuations also cooperate to stabilize $s_{\pm}$-wave superconductivity through $M_z$ mirror-parity selection rules. Our results provide a unified microscopic framework for intertwined density-wave order and high-Tc superconductivity in multilayer nickelates.

Model Fractional Quantum Hall States on Lattices: Exact Parent Hamiltonians and Routes to Realization

Recent advances in engineered quantum platforms have enabled the realization of bosonic Laughlin states at $ν=1/2$ and brought non-Abelian topological phases within experimental reach. A central theoretical challenge is to develop a unified framework connecting lattice fractional quantum Hall (FQH) model states, exact parent Hamiltonians, and experimentally accessible interactions. We systematically construct Hermitian parent Hamiltonians for which continuum lowest Landau level (LLL) model states sampled on lattice sites are exact zero modes. Using these model manifolds as quantitative references, we find that, within the projected lattice LLL at the flux densities studied, short-range density interactions stabilize Laughlin ground-state manifolds at $ν=1/3$ and $1/4$, while two-body onsite repulsion supports a Moore--Read triplet at $ν=1$. Full multiband calculations reveal a sharp contrast: the Laughlin manifolds remain robust against interband mixing on the studied tori, whereas the Moore--Read triplet becomes less spectrally isolated and eventually undergoes a level crossing with competing states near the interband scale. Our framework provides a theoretical foundation for using lattice model states to guide the search for experimentally accessible Abelian and non-Abelian FQH states.
