• Spin–orbit coupling in quantum gases (2013, background): “1d) are promising in this regard because robust arguments support the existence of many-body cat states(22): (1) the symmetry protection of the exact spin degeneracy from splitting and (2) an argument based on the Heisenberg uncertainty relation, which suggests that for the repulsive bosons to stay ”
• Quantum Excitations in Quantum Spin Ice (2011, background): “Yb2Ti2O7 enjoys several major advantages over other materials considered to be candidates for QSL states up to now [14]: It is the only case in which the Hamiltonian parameters are precisely known, and for which large single-crystal samples highly suitable for detailed neutron scattering measurement”

• Skyrmion lattice with a giant topological Hall effect in a frustrated triangular-lattice magnet (2018, background): “Consequently, spins strongly fluctuate and form a disordered state known as spin liquid states (1), or occasionally find a route to various spin textures, including spin spiral orders or more complex noncoplanar orders (2,3).”
• Fractionalized excitations in the spin-liquid state of a kagome-lattice antiferromagnet (2012, background): “One long sought example is the resonating-valence-bond (RVB) state,[1] where atomic magnetic moments are strongly correlated but do not order or freeze even in the limit of T → 0.[2] The RVB ground state does not break conventional symmetries, such as lattice translation or spin-rotation.”
• Kitaev materials (2017, background): “In parallel, much attention has been drawn towards j = 1/2 Mott insulators that exhibit bonddirectional exchange interactions and are thought to exhibit unconventional forms of magnetism, such as the emergence of spin liquids [17, 18] or the formation of non-trivial spin textures.”
• A high-temperature quantum spin liquid with polaron spins (2017, background): “, a state without spontaneously broken triangular lattice symmetry and whose behavior is dominated by emergent fractional excitations [2], is still remarkably short: it includes YbMgGaO4 [3, 4] and the organic molecular solids κ-(ET)2Cu2(CN)3 and EtMe3Sb[Pd(dmit)2]2 [5, 6].”
