• Abstract: Motivated by the mathematical beauty and the recent experimental realizations of fractal systems, we study the spin-$1/2$ antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on a Sierpi\'nski gasket. The fractal porous feature generates new kinds of frustration to exhibit exotic quantum states. Using advanced tensor network techniques, we identify a quantum gapless-spin-liquid ground state in fractional spatial dimension. This fractal spin system also demonstrates nontrivial non-local properties. While the extremely short-range correlation causes a highly degenerate spin form factor, the entanglement in this fractal system suggests scaling behaviors significantly different from those in integer dimensions. We also study the dynamic structure factor and clearly identify the gapless excitation with a stable corner excitation emerged from the ground-state entanglement. Our results unambiguously point out multiple essential properties of this fractal spin system, and open a new route to explore spin liquid and frustrated magnetism.

  We analytically show that, in the absence of any magnetic field for the spins, the model exhibits Hilbert space fragmentation into exponentially many Krylov subspaces. We also study the long-time behavior of the entanglement entropy and its deviation from the expected Page value as a probe of ergodicity in the system.

• Ground state of the $S$=1/2 pyrochlore Heisenberg antiferromagnet: A quantum spin liquid emergent from dimensional reduction [0.0]
  We show that an unconventional type of quantum spin liquid is born out from the pyrochlore system after the self-organized dimensional reduction. The stabilized quantum spin liquid exhibits an algebraic decay of correlations and vanishing excitation gap in the thermodynamic limit. This spin-liquid ground state persists in the presence of spin-orbit interactions, which expands the possibilities of realizing quantum spin liquids in real pyrochlore-structured materials.

• Spin squeezing generated by the anisotropic central spin model [0.28101605533398166]
  We investigate the spin squeezing and the quantum phase transition in an anisotropic central spin system. We find that this kind of central spin systems can be mapped to the anisotropic Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model in the limit where the ratio of transition between the central spin and the spin bath tends towards infinity. This work offers a promising scheme for generating spin-squeezed state and paves the way for potential advancements in quantum sensing.

• Scalable spin squeezing in two-dimensional arrays of dipolar large-$S$ spins [0.0]
  We show that spin-spin interactions lead to scalable spin squeezing along the non-equilibrium unitary evolution in a coherent spin state. For sufficiently small quadratic shifts, the spin squeezing dynamics is akin to that produced by the paradigmatic one-axis-twisting (OAT) model. Spin squeezing with OAT-like scaling is shown to be protected by the robustness of long-range ferromagnetic order to quadratic shifts.

  Paramagnetic defects in diamond and hexagonal boron nitride possess a unique combination of spin and optical properties that make them solid-state qubits. Despite the coherence of these spin qubits being critically limited by spin-phonon relaxation, a full understanding of this process is not yet available. We demonstrate that low-frequency two-phonon modulations of the zero-field splitting are responsible for spin relaxation and decoherence.

  We study the spin-dependent transport properties in a noncolinear antiferromagnetic fractal structure, namely, the Sierpinski (SPG) triangle. We find that though the spin-up and spin-down currents are different, the degree of spin polarization is too weak. Finally, we come up with a proposal, where the degree of spin polarization can be enhanced significantly in the presence of a time-periodic driving field.

  We study the manipulation of Majorana zero modes in a thin disk made from a $p$-wave superconductor. We analyze the second-order topological corner modes that arise when an in-plane magnetic field is applied. We show that oscillations persist even in the adiabatic phase because of a frequency independent coupling between zero modes and excited states.
