Abstract: We study a $\mathbb{Z}_3$ Kitaev model on the honeycomb lattice with nearest neighbor interactions. Based on matrix product state simulations and symmetry considerations, we find evidence that, with ferromagnetic isotropic couplings, the model realizes a chiral spin liquid, characterized by a possible $\mathrm{U}(1)_{12}$ chiral topological order. This is supported by simulations on both cylinder and strip geometries. On infinitely long cylinders with various widths, scaling analysis of entanglement entropy and maximal correlation length suggests that the model has a gapped 2D bulk. The topological entanglement entropy is extracted and found to be in agreement with the $\mathrm{U}(1)_{12}$ topological order. On infinitely long strips with moderate widths, we find the model is critical with a central charge consistent with the chiral edge theory of the $\mathrm{U}(1)_{12}$ topological phase. We conclude by discussing several open questions.

Measurement-induced Lévy flights of quantum information [38.68022950138448]
We explore a model of free fermions in one dimension subject to frustrated local measurements across adjacent sites. For maximal misalignment, superdiffusive behavior emerges from the vanishing of the measurement-induced quasiparticle decay rate. Our findings show how intricate fractal-scaling entanglement can be produced for local Hamiltonians.

We explore a large $N$ generalization of the Kitaev model on the honeycomb lattice with a simple nearest-neighbor interacting Hamiltonian. In particular, we focus on the $mathbbZ_4$ case with isotropic couplings, which is characterized by an exact $mathbbZ_4$ one-form symmetry. A unified perspective for all $mathbbZ_N$ type Kitaev models is also discussed.

Emergence of non-Abelian SU(2) invariance in Abelian frustrated fermionic ladders [37.69303106863453]
We consider a system of interacting spinless fermions on a two-leg triangular ladder with $pi/2$ magnetic flux per triangular plaquette. Microscopically, the system exhibits a U(1) symmetry corresponding to the conservation of total fermionic charge, and a discrete $mathbbZ$ symmetry. At the intersection of the three phases, the system features a critical point with an emergent SU(2) symmetry.
