In the first part of my talk I describe a search for possible quantum spin liquid ground states for spin S=1 Heisenberg models on the triangular lattice which was motivated by recent experiments on Ba3NiSb2O9. We use representation of spin-1 via three flavors of fermionic spinon operators. The ground state where one gapless flavor of spinons with a Fermi surface coexists with d+id topological pairing of the two other flavors can explain available experimental data. Despite the existence of a Fermi surface, this spin liquid state has fully gapped bulk spin excitations. This results in a linear in-temperature specific heat and constant in-plane spin susceptibility, with an unusually high Wilson ratio. Using variational Monte Carlo technique, we show that proposed spin liquid ground state is realized in an SU(3)-invariant model with sufficiently strong ring-exchange terms. In the second part, I consider the physics of the magnetic s=1/2 impurity embedded in a S=1 spin liquid, where all three flavors of spinons have a Fermi surface. The interplay between non-Fermi-liquid behavior induced by a U(1) gauge field coupled to fermions, and a non-Fermi-liquid fixed point in the overscreened Kondo problem is studied using double expansion. The gauge field changes the physical properties of the system at the overscreened Kondo fixed point. Thus, spin-half impurity in such spin liquid can be used to probe the presence of fermionic spinons coupled to the gauge field. References: arXiv:1108.3070, arXiv:1208.3231 and arXiv:1212.5179

Quantum Physics

Human monkeys are used to thinking about the problem of choosing from a set of objects according to some desired, biased, probability distribution. Just think about how you chose your partner(s). Even when it is easy for you to do such a sampling, it can be difficult to do a quantum sampling (Q-Sampling) of the same distribution. By Q-Sampling I mean the creation of a coherent superposition of states of such objects whose amplitudes are the (square roots of) of the specified distribution. In this talk I will discuss what we do know about this problem, why it is interesting, and will discuss how it can let us achieve tasks with quantum information that are provably impossible classically.

Quantum number fractionalization is a remarkable property of topologically ordered states of matter, such as fractional quantum Hall liquids, and quantum spin liquids. For a given type of topological order, there are generally many ways to fractionalize the quantum numbers of a given symmetry. What does it mean to have different types of fractionalization? Are different types of fractionalization a universal property that can be used to distinguish phases of matter? In this talk, I will answer these questions, focusing on a simple class of topologically ordered phases, namely two-dimensional gapped Z2 spin liquids, and I will present a symmetry classification of these phases. I will also discuss efforts in progress to find microscopic models realizing different symmetry classes.
