Orbital effects in solids: Basics, recent progress, and opportunities

DI Khomskii, SV Streltsov - Chemical Reviews, 2020 - ACS Publications
The properties of transition metal compounds are largely determined by nontrivial interplay

Spectroscopic observation of SU(N)-symmetric interactions in Sr orbital magnetism

X Zhang, M Bishof, SL Bromley, CV Kraus… - science, 2014 - science.org
SU (N) symmetry can emerge in a quantum system with N single-particle spin states when
spin is decoupled from interparticle interactions. Taking advantage of the high measurement …

Variational optimization with infinite projected entangled-pair states

P Corboz - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
We present a scheme to perform an iterative variational optimization with infinite projected
