Variational approach to quantum spin liquid in a Rydberg atom simulator
2023
Overview
Recently the Rydberg blockade effect has been utilized to realize quantum spin liquid (QSL) on a kagome lattice. Evidence of QSL has been obtained experimentally by directly measuring non-local string order. In this paper, we report a Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer (BCS)-type variational wave function study of the spin liquid state in this model. This wave function is motivated by mapping the Rydberg blockade model to a lattice gauge theory, where the local gauge conservations replace the role of constraints from the Rydberg blockade. We determine the variational parameter from the experimental measurement of the Rydberg atom population. Then we compare the predictions of this deterministic wave function with the experimental measurements of non-local string order. Combining the measurements on both open and closed strings, we extract the fluctuations only associated with the closed-loop as an indicator of the topological order. The prediction from our wave function agrees reasonably well with the experimental data, with only one fitting parameter determined by measurement of Rydberg atom population. Our variational wave function provides a simple and intuitive picture of the QSL in this system that can be generalized to similar spin liquid phases in other lattice geometry.
