Quantum Spin Liquid
➢ Novel quantum states probably with topological orders ➢ Mott insulators without magnetic orders ➢ Might be the parent compounds of high-Tc superconductivity
✓ Insulators with spin interactions ✓ Odd number of electrons per unit cell ✓ Strong geometric or quantum fluctuations
Kagome Heisenberg Materials Route I: Geometrical frustration Route II: Proximity to Mott transition High-Tc cuprates: doped Mott insulators

➢ Simple update

Fast and can access large D tensors
➢ Full update

more accurate than simply update cost high
➢ Variational minimization with automatic differentiation
Liao, Liu, Wang, Xiang, arXiv:1903.09650, PRX in press

Automatic Differentiation (AD)
➢ a cute technique which computes exact derivatives, whose errors are limits only floating point error ➢ a powerful tool successfully used in deep learning Computation Graph Chain Rule of differentiation Haijun Liao’s talk 3-4 pm 26 July
Strategy of solving this problem:
➢ Gain insight by making comparison with a reference system: ✓ Husimi Lattice, which can be almost exactly solved by TRG ✓ Husimi Lattice: locally similar to but less frustrated than Kagome lattice ➢ Find gap information from the D-dependence of the ground state energy ✓ Converge exponentially with D if the ground state is gapped ✓ Converge algebraically with D if the ground state is gapless
Kagome Heisenberg Model
Liao, et al, PRL 118, 137202 (2017)
✓ Tree Structure ✓ D ~ 1000 accessible, quasi-exact ✓ Highly frustrated ✓ D is generally small
