TLDR
In this article, a spin-1/2 system on a honeycomb lattice is studied, where the interactions between nearest neighbors are of XX, YY or ZZ type, depending on the direction of the link; different types of interactions may differ in strength.

Many-Body Physics with Ultracold Gases

TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent experimental and theoretical progress concerning many-body phenomena in dilute, ultracold gases is presented, focusing on effects beyond standard weakcoupling descriptions, such as the Mott-Hubbard transition in optical lattices, strongly interacting gases in one and two dimensions, or lowest-Landau-level physics in quasi-two-dimensional gases in fast rotation.

Non-Abelian Anyons and Topological Quantum Computation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the mathematical underpinnings of topological quantum computation and the physics of the subject are addressed, using the ''ensuremath{ u}=5∕2$ fractional quantum Hall state as the archetype of a non-Abelian topological state enabling fault-tolerant quantum computation.

Classification of topological insulators and superconductors in three spatial dimensions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors systematically studied topological phases of insulators and superconductors in three dimensions and showed that there exist topologically nontrivial (3D) topologically nonsmooth topological insulators in five out of ten symmetry classes introduced in the context of random matrix theory.

Quantum Groups

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce the theory of quantum groups with emphasis on the spectacular connections with knot theory and Drinfeld's recent fundamental contributions and present the quantum groups attached to SL2 as well as the basic concepts of the Hopf algebras.

The resonating valence bond state in La2CuO4 and superconductivity

TL;DR: The oxide superconductors, particularly those recently discovered that are based on La2CuO4, have a set of peculiarities that suggest a common, unique mechanism: they tend in every case to occur near a metal-insulator transition into an odd-electron insulator with peculiar magnetic properties.

Quantum field theory and the Jones polynomial

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that 2+1 dimensional quantum Yang-Mills theory with an action consisting purely of the Chern-Simons term is exactly soluble and gave a natural framework for understanding the Jones polynomial of knot theory in three dimensional terms.
