• Realizing the classical XY Hamiltonian in polariton simulators. (2016, unknown): “The 90◦ compass, where both ferro- and anti-ferromagnetic coupling appear across the two orthogonal diagonals here, has been proposed as a model to Mott insulators with orbital degrees of freedom and frustrated magnets [29].”
• Kitaev materials (2017, background): “As such the edge-sharing 90◦ bond geometry naturally gives rise to a quantum compass model [20], originally introduced by Kugel and Khomskii for the orbital degrees of freedom in Jahn-Teller systems [21] and realized here for the first time in a truly magnetic variant.”
