Fidelity susceptibility and long-range correlation in the Kitaev honeycomb model

Abstract: We study exactly both the ground-state fidelity susceptibility and bond-bond correlation function in the Kitaev honeycomb model. Our results show that the fidelity susceptibility can be used to identify the topological phase transition from a gapped A phase with Abelian anyon excitations to a gapless B phase with non-Abelian anyon excitations. We also find that the bond-bond correlation function decays exponentially in the gapped phase, but algebraically in the gapless phase. For the former case, the correlati… Show more

“…[2][3][4][5] Because the ground states in some topological quantum systems (e.g., the Kitaev spin models on honeycomb 3 and triangle-honeycomb 5 lattices) are exactly solvable, QPTs in these systems can be analytically investigated. In these topological systems, the discovered QPTs include the transition between a gapped Abelian phase and a gapless phase, 4,6 the transition between Abelian and non-Abelian phases, 5,[7][8][9][10] and the transition between two non-Abelian phases with different Chern numbers. 3 Also, an unconventional QPT between two non-Abelian phases was found 11 in the Kitaev spin model on a trianglehoneycomb lattice by a fermionization method.…”
