| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We applied the Lefschetz thimble method recently developed in the field of particle physics for the negative-sign free quantum Monte Carlo simulation to the Kitaev model hosting a quantum spin liquid, which is one of the central topics of condensed matter physics. As a result, we successfully clarified the practical mitigation of the negative sign problem. Furthermore, for theoretical models of various magnetic materials, we chose an appropriate method from the quantum Monte Carlo method, the exact diagonalization, the mean field theory, the saddle point method, etc., and implemented numerical calculations. These calculations provided new insights into various focused topics such as chiral spin liquid, magnon Efimov effect, fractional corner magnetization, magnetic hedgehog lattice, and magnetoelectric effect of chiral antiferromagnets.
