Topological Quantum Dimers Emerging from Kitaev Spin Liquid Bilayer - Anyon Condensation Transition

Explore a 53-minute lecture on the emergence of topological quantum dimers from Kitaev spin liquid bilayers through anyon condensation transitions. Delve into the world of Quantum Spin Liquids (QSLs) and their potential applications in quantum science and technology. Examine the connection between Kitaev Spin Liquid (KSL) and Resonating Valence Bond (RVB) states, and their relevance to experimental platforms such as RuCl3, quantum processors, and Rydberg atom arrays. Investigate the challenges in understanding transitions between distinct QSLs and the proposed mechanism of anyon condensation. Learn about a novel bilayer spin model that demonstrates the anyon condensation transition between KSL bilayer and RVB states. Gain insights into the numerical evidence supporting anyon condensation and the intricate relationship between KSL bilayer and RVB states, as presented by Kyusung Hwang from the PCS Institute for Basic Science.
