Crystalline phases and devil's staircase in qubit spin ice
Motivated by the recent realization of an artificial quantum spin ice in an array of superconducting qubits with tunable parameters [King et al., Science 373, 576 (2021)0036-807510.1126/science.abe2824], we scrutinize a quantum six-vertex model on the square lattice that distinguishes type-I and typ...
