Comprehensive study of the phase diagram of the spin-1/2 Kitaev-Heisenberg-Gamma chain

A central question on Kitaev materials is the effects of additional couplings on the Kitaev model, which is proposed to be a candidate for realizing topological quantum computations. However, two spatial dimensions typically suffer the difficulty of lacking controllable approaches. In this work, usi...
