Atomic Fermi Gas in the Trimerized Kagomé Lattice at2/3Filling

Abstract: We study low temperature properties of a spinless interacting Fermi gas in the trimerized kagomé lattice. The case of two fermions per trimer is described by a quantum spin 1/2 model on the triangular lattice with couplings depending on the bond directions. Using exact diagonalizations we show that the system exhibits nonstandard properties of a quantum spin-liquid crystal, combining a planar antiferromagnetic order with an exceptionally large number of low-energy excitations.

“…The key assumption underlying the mechanism is that the evolution can be divided, for suitable ramping velocities, into three parts: a first adiabatic one, where the wave function of the system coincides with the ground state of H(t); a second impulsive, where the wave function of the system is practically frozen, due to the large relaxation time close to the critical point; a third adiabatic one, as the system is driven away from the critical point 23 . This division takes the name of adiabaticimpulse-adiabatic approximation 38 . What plays a role in this kind of mechanism is the correlation lengthξ at the times of passage between the different regimes, that can be seen to scale, for a linear quench of inverse velocity τ , as 22ξ…”

“…(70) and the exponents θ and θ of the retarded and Keldysh Green's functions in Eq. (67). We will show that θ = θ , which is in contrast to the regime near classical phase transitions 12,81 and to the dynamics in an isolated, quantum system 83 .…”

“…In the Kibble-Zurek description of such a parameter sweep through a critical point, the correlation length is assumed to remain constant at this freeze-out length scale for the remainder of the sweep 65,66 . It then follows that the number of (topological) excitations depends on the rate via a universal scaling law that solely contains equilibrium critical exponents [67][68][69][70][71] . Similarly, it follows that the long time approach to equilibrium of a system that is suddenly quenched close to a (quantum) critical point is governed by equilibrium exponents 72 .…”
