Characterizing topological excitations of a long-range Heisenberg model with trapped ions
Characterizing topological excitations of a long-range Heisenberg model with trapped ions
Realizing and characterizing interacting topological phases in synthetic quantum systems is a formidable challenge. Here, we propose a Floquet protocol to realize the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model with power-law decaying interactions. Based on analytical and numerical arguments, we show that this model features a quantum phase transition from a liquid to …
