Two-dimensional quantum compass model in a staggered field: some rigorous results

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/20/1/017503

Abstract We study the properties of the two-dimensional quantum compass model in a staggered field. Using the Perron–Fröbenius theorem and the reflection positivity method, we rigorously determine the low energy spectrum of this model and its global ground state $\varPsi_0$. Furthermore, we show that $\varPsi_0$ has a directional long-range order.

Keywords: multi-orbital degree of freedom quantum compass model directional order
