Continuous quantum phase transition between two topologically distinct valence bond solid states associated with the same spin value

Journal Article Dong, Zheng ; Guangming, Zhang ; Tao, Xiang ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

We propose a one-dimensional quantum Heienberg spin-2 chain, which exhibits two topologically distinct valence bond solid states in two different solvable limits. We then construct the phase diagram and study the quantum phase transition between these two states using infinite time evolving block decimation algorithms. From the scaling relation between the entanglement entropy and the correlation length, we determine that the central charge for the underlying critical conformal field theory is around two.

Valence-Bond-Solid Phases and Quantum Phase Transitions in Two-Dimensional Spin Models with Four-Site Interactions

Conference Sandvik, A. W. ; Melko, Roger G ; Scalapino, D. J.

We discuss zero-temperature phase transititions from an antiferromagnetic ground state into a valence-bond-solid (VBS) in two different square-lattice quantum spin models. In one limit these models reduce to the standard S = 1/2 XY and Heisenberg models, respectively, which have long-range antiferromagnetic order at T = 0. Introducing particular types of four-spin interactions, amenable to quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulation without negative-sign problems, drives phase transitions into VBS states with broken Z4 symmetry. It has recently been argued that continuous quantum phase transitions of this nature represent a new class of deconfined quantum-critical points, which are not captured within themore »« less
Topologically distinct classes of valence-bond solid states with their parent Hamiltonians

Journal Article Honghao, Tu ; Guangming, Zhang ; Tao, Xiang ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

We present a general method to construct one-dimensional translationally invariant valence-bond solid states with a built-in Lie group G and derive their matrix product representations. The general strategies to find their parent Hamiltonians are provided so that the valence-bond solid states are their unique ground states. For quantum integer-spin-S chains, we discuss two topologically distinct classes of valence-bond solid states: one consists of two virtual SU(2) spin-J variables in each site and another is formed by using two SO(2S+1) spinors. Among them, a spin-1 fermionic valence-bond solid state, its parent Hamiltonian, and its properties are discussed in detail. Moreover, twomore »« less

Quantum phase transitions around the staggered valence-bond solid

Journal Article Cenke, Xu ; Balents, Leon ; Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of California, Santa Barbara, California 93106 - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

Motivated by recent numerical results, we study the quantum phase transitions between Z{sub 2} spin-liquid, Neel-ordered, and various valence-bond solid (VBS) states on the honeycomb and square lattices, with emphasis on the staggered VBS. In contrast to the well-understood columnar VBS order, the staggered VBS is not described by an XY-order parameter with Z{sub N} anisotropy close to these quantum phase transitions. Instead, we demonstrate that on the honeycomb lattice, the staggered VBS is more appropriately described as an O(3)- or CP(2)-order parameter with cubic anisotropy, while on the square lattice it is described by an O(4)- or CP(3)-order parameter.
