| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this project, we have developed new numerical methods for clarifying the nature of exotic quantum phases of magnets, quantum spin liquids. On the basis of the Majorana fermion picture used in the exact solution for the so-called Kitaev model, we developed a new quantum Monte Carlo method, dynamical mean-field approximation, and continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo method. By utilizing the new methods, we clarified the temperature and energy dependences of various physical quantities. From the comparison with the experimental data for candidate materials for the Kitaev model, we provided strong evidences for the realization of quantum spin liquids in these materials.
