Exact Chiral Spin Liquid with Non-Abelian Anyons
Exact Chiral Spin Liquid with Non-Abelian Anyons
We establish the existence of a chiral spin liquid (CSL) as the exact ground state of the Kitaev model on a decorated honeycomb lattice, which is obtained by replacing each site in the familiar honeycomb lattice with a triangle. This CSL state spontaneously breaks time reversal symmetry but preserves other …
