Strongly interacting systems play an important role in quantum physics and quantum chemistry. Stochastic methods such as Monte Carlo simulations are a proven method for investigating such systems. However, these methods reach their limits when so-called sign oscillations occur. This problem has now been solved by an international team of researchers from Germany, Turkey, the USA, China, South Korea and France using the new method of wavefunction matching. As an example, the masses and radii of all nuclei up to mass number 50 were calculated using this method. The results agree with the measurements, the researchers now report in the journal “Nature”.

HKU Theoretical Physicists Collaborate Alongside CAS Experimentalists Uncovering Novel Quantum State Known as “Dirac Spin Liquid”

HKU Theoretical Physicists Collaborate Alongside CAS Experimentalists Uncovering Novel Quantum State Known as “Dirac Spin Liquid”

May 14, 2024
Quasiparticles are intriguing entities that emerge from collective behaviour within materials, which can be treated like a group of particles. The Dirac spinons, specifically, are expected to exhibit unique characteristics similar to Dirac particles in high-energy physics and the Dirac electrons in graphene and quantum moire materials, such as a linear dispersion relation between energy and momentum. But such spin-½ charge neutral quasiparticles have not been seen in quantum magnets till this work.
