摘要: 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 Ψ0. Furthermore, we show that Ψ0 has a directional long-range order.

关键词: multi-orbital degree of freedom, quantum compass model, directional order

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.

Key words: multi-orbital degree of freedom, quantum compass model, directional order
